The Alternativa Film Project, an initiative of the California-based tech company inDrive, is a new international project to support filmmakers from developing film industries and to make them more visible on a global scale.

The project kicked off in autumn 2023 by featuring 3 film labs, including the so-called Impact Lab, that caters for producers and directors of projects that could have significant impact on society.
