For the second consecutive year, First Cut+ is aiming to boost the competitiveness and marketability of feature films that have previously been hosted at First Cut Lab. The first session will run from 22-26 January in a hybrid format during the upcoming When East Meets West in Trieste.

As in the year before, the complete portfolio of First Cut+ consists of 16 feature-length fiction films which are currently in post-production and most of them hail from countries with a low production capacity, with a special focus on Central and Eastern European projects. Half of the titles are featured in the Trieste workshop, while the rest will be included in the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival session during the upcoming Eastern Promises Industry Days.
