The TorinoFilmLab (TFL), the international workshop which helps first and second-time directors develop, finance and market their films, has announced the 11 projects that will participate in the fourth edition of FrameWork (previously the Development programme), to be held in April and November 2011.

The two-persons teams, comprising a screenwriter/director and a producer, will take part in two workshops in Turin (April 28-May 3; November 25-29), at which they will work with tutors and experts.
