1/WHAT IS LAB'CARAÏBES ?
As part of the 4th edition of the NEW REGARDS FILM FESTIVAL in Guadeloupe, the Cinémas d'Ici et d'Ailleurs Association organises LAB 'Caraïbes, an incubator of digital documentary projects of web-series type. A call for projects will allow a maximum of 6 projects to receive support for innovative development and a personalised follow-up by two experts from April 21 to 23, 2020 in Guadeloupe.
Goals

Lab’Caraïbes aims to explore these new documentary storytelling areas by drawing on talents from the French-speaking Caribbean region.
