What’s The Story? Croatia is an intensive five-day short film development writing workshop – part of the new Talents Generator Factory initiative promoted by Talents and Short Film Market (TSFM).

The workshop will be realised in partnership with Zagreb Film Festival (ZFF), Talents and Short Film Market (TSFM), and the Croatian Audiovisual Centre. It will take place in Zagreb (Croatia) as part of the ZFF Industry program (6-10 Nov 2023) and will be led by two experienced TSFM experts. The workshop is aimed at development, networking and incresing the visibility of Croatian and regional filmmakers, primarily short film directors and screenwriters. The deadline for project submission is 1 September 2023.

During five festival days, the participants will develop their short films through theoretical and practical training under the guidance of two experienced professionals. The participants will learn how to get to the core  of their project in order to understand it better and develop it more efficiently and fully. The workshop is led by two experienced tutors and will require active participation and a mindset open to collaboration from all participants. The work will be conducted both in class during the face-to-face hours and in between the meetings, with specific tasks and assignments to be accomplished for the following day. Special attention is paid to production, feasibility, artistic aspects and cultural contexts of the projects.

The workshop will conclude with a pitching session, and the two winning pitches will be invited to take part in another workshop happening during Talents and Short Film Market vol. 8 (27-30 Nov 2023) in Torino, Italy.
