BrLab Rough Cut is an editing workshop dedicated to fictional feature films, held in São Paulo during BrLab. Projects from Latin America, the Iberian Peninsula and Italy can participate in Rough Cut. 

BrLab Rough Cut invites internationally recognized tutors to work on the films alongside the director and editor. Each project is assigned a tutor in order to debate the project’s needs and apply new creative solutions to them. The participating filmmakers also have the opportunity of exchanging ideas and opening themselves to different views on their work, further enriching their projects’ post-production processes. This exchange of experiences makes Rough Cut an incredibly fruitful opportunity for projects to find the cuts that will eventually reach the public.

The Ibermedia Program has been with BrLab since its first edition, and 2024 will be no different. The applicants from outside São Paulo selected to participate will receive Ibermedia Scholarships to cover travel, accommodation and food expenses for two project members, which ensure and facilitate the participation of filmmakers from different countries in the Ibero-American region.
