Copro Student Lab in cooperation with the New Fund for Cinema and TV, T-PORT and TISFF, is a prestigious program designed for a group of eight prominent students in the documentary field, in which participants receive enrichment programs and exposure to the international film industry.

Promising projects in the development or production stages, which could be relevant to an international audience, are selected for the program.

The peak event of Copro Student Lab is the Student Pitching Forum, in which participants present their projects in front of a panel of local and international industry personnel. The panel members then select three outstanding projects.

First Prize - Production Grant of NIS 20,000 on behalf of the New Fund for Cinema and TV.
