According to Savina Neirotti, the newly appointed director of the TurinFilmLab, the aim is to foster more high-quality films and to further establish Turin as a world film center. The TurinFilmLab will work on cooperation with other Italian and European film funds and will be associated with the Torino Film Festival, where projects selected by the TurinFilmLab's advisory board will be presented to producers, sales agents and distributors.
