LIM² | Less is More Call for Projects

In 2026, LIM becomes LIM²

Around 50 projects will be selected to our three online toolbox sessions (2 hours each) and masterclasses, aimed at supporting the early stages of development through innovative tools and methodologies.

Among the 50 projects above, 16 will be invited to join the main LIM on-site programme (with a series of online meetings), dedicated to the development of their first, second, or third feature film.

LIM² welcomes applications from writers and directors who:

• Are from (or currently living in) the European Union, Eurimages countries, non-EU countries participating in the Creative Europe Programme, or the United Kingdom*
• Are developing a fiction feature film at an early stage

Applicants with backgrounds in theatre, documentary, or visual arts are also encouraged to apply.

Participation is free of charge.
