Online scriptwriting course on Cineuropa.org

Sunday, July 13th, 2008

From July 2008, Cineuropa.org proposes an online scriptwriting course in English, French, Italian and Spanish. The training formula is based on a direct and personalised contact between the participants and the teacher. Participants will therefore be able to read the lessons at their leisure time and communicate privately with the teacher at any moment. Following the first trial lesson, which is available, free of charge, on the website, the course is structured in eight lessons over sixteen weeks. These lessons’ aim is to offer participants the essential theoretical and practical notions in scriptwriting, while highlighting the differences between cinema scriptwriting and other creative forms. The follow up with the tutor and the practical aspects provided by the exercises are at the core of the project. The course fees amount to 465 euros + VAT.

Despite the funny name Muuuvi is a lovely film festival in a fabulous village in Transylvania Lazarea. We represented ourselves as a jury member and, besides watching many great films (muuuvies) we have so much fun there. Not saying that the winner was one of the Daazo films: Elvis Turns in His Grave by Aiju Salminen.
