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.

Writer’s Lab 2026

October & November

Concentrated development for film and series projects, with individual participation periods.

Applications for 2026 are closed. We will share updates on the lab as it unfolds and announce details of the next edition.

Workspaces

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.

Common spaces

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.
