Call It Fiction: Script Station Presentation

Time
Feb 17th 2010
Location
HAU 3 - White Stage
Guests
Fleur Knopperts

In cooperation with the German Federal Film Board (FFA).

At the heart of a good film is a good script, which has the power to grab the audience from the very first scene and sustain its attention until the end: This means transforming a story into images, turning it from mere words on paper into cinema. Talents of the Script Station, under the guidance of professional script advisors, have been developing their scripts, giving them their energy, emotion, due form and structure. These screenplays of the Script Station will be presented on stage for the very first time, taking shape in the form of powerful dialogues and enthralling story lines, be they intense family dramas set in Bosnia, Belgium or Ireland; a gripping thriller in Cyprus; the threat of terrorism hanging over an American family, an Eastern European comedy or the very endearing coming out of a blind boy in Brazil. The twelve Script Station screenplays in their various stages of development will be presented as works in progress by the Talents and their expert mentors.
