Rough Cuts

Mentorship for Films in the Making…

The Rough Cut is a curated initiative supporting feature film projects at early to intermediate stages of the edit.The programme offers structured feedback sessions with accomplished mentors, creating a focused environment for filmmakers to reflect on their material, assess creative choices, and explore possible directions for their films.

The programme creates a focused space for in-depth feedback sessions with accomplished mentors, offering creative, editorial, and strategic guidance tailored to each selected project. All feedback sessions will take place during the IFFD CineXchange market dates, offering a more intimate space for focused discussion and meaningful engagement. 

All Rough Cuts submissions will be featured at the Viewing Room, encouraging discovery and connections with industry professionals.
