2024 Workshops
TRAINING PROGRAMME
Workshop 1
In March, LIM starts out on its 2024 journey in Plouneour-Brignogan, Brittany (France).
The purpose of this first workshop is to clear for the filmmakers: to find the core of each project, both thematically and narratively. It is a search for the force driving each story as well as to reveal the subconscious interrogation lying at its heart.
Plouneour-Brignogan, Brittany (France), March 16 – 21, 2024
Workshop 2
LIM’s team and participants enter phase 2 of their work: once the core has been found, it needs to find its form, both as a story and as a film. Continuing the path of the first rewrites between the first two workshops, the goal is to establish a bone structure for the script while integrating the creative trigger of budget limitations. Working with both consultants and groups helping to find the way…
Plouneour-Brignogan, Brittany (France), May 29 – June 2, 2024
Workshop 3
After LIM MEET and for an entire week, with a coalition of combined groups and consultants, the projects enter the final stage of development. The aim is to finalise a solid treatment or a first draft. It’s about asking the right questions to find the right answers, finding doors and windows, connecting the need for limitations to enhance a powerful story.
Plouneour-Brignogan, Brittany (France), October 5 – 9, 2024
BOOSTING IDEAS / PREWRITING
Boosting Ideas Workshops are the result of LIM’s first years of experience and Le Groupe Ouest constant experimentation and dialogue with Labs in cognitive research, using a deeper understanding of how the brain works in creative phases when ideas emerge, and how ideas implement themselves in order to gain consistency. While scouting and exchanging with national funds representatives, we realised there was a need to reinforce talents at the very premisses of the projects before entering the development phase itself.
Targeting national and local talents of LIM Partners (12 participants per workshop who can be writers, directors or producers), the Boosting Ideas Workshops offers to tackle initial ideas, reinforcing them to become strong future feature projects before entering long-run development process. The workshop introduce how budget constraints can trigger creativity when you introduce them early enough.
Through the Boosting Ideas Workshops, the aim is to help stimulate the emergence of a new generation of filmmakers within LIM partnering countries/regions.
LIM MEET
Brittany
LIM MEET, the Showcase Event held in Brittany to present the projects to producers, coproducers, sales agents, funds, etc. Filmmakers benefit from the input of industry professionals from all over Europe during a tailor-made Showcase by the sea. These high profile film professionals give extensive feedback to each project to bring an understanding of how the stories/films will be perceived. The goal is also to start potential collaborations.
Brittany (France), September 30 – October 3, 2024
with the support of Creative Europe — MEDIA and Région Bretagne
