Rooms and workspaces
The spaces are part of the working method: privacy for concentrated work, varied desks and rooms for different rhythms, and shared settings for conversation, meals, screenings and group processes.
6 October–13 November
Six weeks for film and series projects at any stage of development.
€600 per week, including accommodation, food and drinks, script doctoring, group work and selected events.
12 private bedrooms for participants.
Each participant has a room of their own. Every room has an en suite bathroom with shower. The rooms differ in size, layout, colour and atmosphere; several also contain a desk or reading corner.
A dedicated workplace, with the freedom to change setting.
Participants may keep one workspace for the full stay or move between several. Desks are available in bedrooms, quiet corners and the library. Some face walls for concentration; others face books, windows, the park or the courtyard.
Rooms for process, meals, exchange and recovery.
The common spaces support the parts of development that do not happen at a desk: group work, script conversations, screenings, informal meetings, shared meals, games, reading, rest and unexpected associations.
The practical conditions for six weeks of work.
Görlitz, the border region and nearby cities.
Görlitz combines architectural beauty, film history and a calm working environment. Dresden, Wrocław, Prague and Berlin are within reach, and the German–Polish–Czech region offers film festivals, cultural events, excursions and varied landscapes.
