ScriptLab

Workshop with Miguel Machalski

Over two five-day sessions, the CNA ScriptLab & Screenwriting/ScreenTelling workshop explores scriptwriting for fiction, documentaries, and series. This program combines theory and practice to establish the fundamentals of screenwriting, analyze dramatic choices, and examine their impact on storytelling.

We will select up to five projects in development (at the treatment or step-outline stage) along with their authors, as well as eight participants without a project, who will participate as active observers. Guided by Miguel Machalski, we will assess the strengths and weaknesses of each project without aiming for formal development. The goal is to apply the theoretical concepts studied during the workshop.

The program includes the analysis of script excerpts and film clips. During the second session, authors will have the opportunity to present revised versions of their projects and fully scripted sequences to delve into the transition to a completed screenplay.

This workshop is open to Luxembourgish authors and directors, or residents of Luxembourg, with or without a writing project. We accept up to five projects (fiction, documentary, series, any format or genre) and eight additional participants. Sessions will be conducted primarily in English, so a good command of the language is required.
