At the beginning of October, the first six film projects were selected from all entries for CinemAsia FilmLAB 2017. Three projects will ultimately go into production. This time it is the first time that one of the projects has been selected by the public. The 'online voting' yielded 2223 voters, of which the most votes (683) went to "PRICETAG". The other two were selected by the FilmLAB committee. These are “LOVE” and “TSUYA”.
After an intensive production process, under the supervision of FilmLAB producers Judith Mulder and Daan Vree, the completed films will have their world premiere during the 10th edition of the CinemAsia Film Festival, which will take place in Amsterdam from 7 to 12 March 2017. The films then go on tour across the country.
