Cinekid welcomes sixteen writers for the fifth edition of Cinekid Script LAB, a six-month project-driven initiative that focuses on the development of scripts for children's films. The LAB starts during Cinekid for Professionals in Amsterdam in October, and runs until the Berlinale in Berlin in February 2019.

The LAB

LAB participants work with internationally acclaimed advisors who push them to their creative limits. The coaching offered to each filmmaker is tailor-made and addresses the needs of both the writer and the story across the LAB's two-phased trajectory.

Teamwork and the interpersonal exchange of ideas and experiences within a safe and nurturing lab environment are the foundation stones of Cinekid's Script LAB. Further information on the coaching team can be found here.
