APostLab - Annual Workshop
APostLab
MANAGE YOUR POST-PRODUCTION FROM THE START
Well-managed post-production will help your film or series reach its full potential, creatively as well as financially. APostLab offers unique workshops that teach you how to incorporate post-production and VFX into the entire production process right from the start.
Applications are now open for the 16th Annual APostLab Workshop, taking place for the first time across two countries: Helsinki (Finland) & Tallinn (Estonia) on November 13–19, 2025.
We cover all crucial components – from budget to workflow and planning, to creative and technical aspects. The goal: you end up with the skills to avoid any bottlenecks in planning and budgeting, and you are able to have eye-level discussions with all parties involved in the post-production of your future films and series. Our motto says it all: Post before you shoot!
With over 12 years of training experience and an international pool of industry-leading experts, APostLab helps European audiovisual professionals to advance their skills in managing the post-production of internationally co-produced feature films and series.
APostLab’s annual activities consist of three programs, the APostLab Annual Workshop, the related Mentoring program, and the short-format APostLab On-Demand workshops.
The APostLab’s flagship, 6-day, project-based residential Annual Workshop for producers and post-production supervisors gives the workshop’s 22 participants a better understanding of post-production management techniques, workflows, and their relation to traditional and new distribution methods, particularly in the context of international co-productions.
The workshop is dedicated to facilitate international networking and spread best-practices among participants, and empower post-production supervisors to become competent and confident in helping producers plan post-production of their projects.
As an extension of the Annual Workshop, APostLab has designed its Mentoring program with the focus on emerging post-production supervisors to further individual and professional development of the Annual Workshop’s post-production supervisor participants who want to work independently, or would like to expand their career to an international level.
Finally, the APostLab On Demand workshops are short-format, 1-to-2 days, topic-driven programs that can be adapted and offered to broader European professional audiences. The On Demand workshops always focus on a topic with flexible training formats that best fit the audience and provide an effective way to the address the wider professional community about the importance and benefits of well-managed post-production.
