ABOUT TFL NEXT - FILM

TFL Next consists of carefully crafted workshops to help filmmakers to move forward with their projects. This is a unique opportunity to enhance, share and test ideas with peers and high-level tutors from all over the world.

The workshops are addressed to international professionals with feature film projects, encouraging creative development through intensive coaching. 16 projects will be selected for each workshop and divided into 4 groups, to work on their treatment alongside peers and a tutor with a substantial international experience as a script consultant.

The workshops will be divided into 2 development sessions. They will start with a first, 5 day-long session where participants discuss their work in group sessions and one-on-one meetings with their tutors. Then, participants will have some time to rework their materials which will be discussed in a second session.
After the development training, all the participants will meet again in a virtual pitching session, where tutors and industry guests will give feedback on their projects. The aim of this session is to test the first reactions to the project and receive additional inputs and suggestions from high-qualified professionals.

Thanks to the TFL Next's global experience, the participants will have the chance to develop a strong international network: on top of the script sessions and meeting with industry representatives, participants will gather during special online events aimed at exchanging skills and finding productive collaborations.

WHO CAN PARTICIPATE

The online workshops are open to scriptwriters, directors and producers from all over the world. The project can be presented individually or in a team (maximum 2 participants per team) and must be in the shape of a feature film project at an early development stage.

The workshops are treatment-based; which means that participants will exclusively work on the treatment of the feature film (the tutors will not be required to read a full script). In case of projects based on novels, short stories or other literary works, applicants must have secured an option for the work they wish to adapt.

The working language of all workshops, meetings and events is English; thus, a good knowledge of English is essential in order to participate.

PARTICIPATION FEE

Workshop participation fee: 1.700 Euro (+VAT, if due) per project (maximum 2 participants in the team of work).

After confirming their participation, participants must send proof of the payment within the following 2 days in order to confirm their seat.

TorinoFilmLab doesn’t provide any scholarships for this workshop. In many countries, public institutions provide scholarships for this kind of training.
