In the second of the Cannes Conversation Series, we look at script development and how the story gets from the page to the screen. 

This has been made possible with the support of the Screen Ireland Stakeholder Fund. 

At Cannes Film Festival last year, WFT Chair Dr. Susan Liddy caught up with producer Annemiek van der Hell at the Writers’ Lab networking event. 

The Writers’ Lab is a wonderful initiative created by Elizabeth Kaiden and Nitza Wilon to support female screenwriters over 40. Susan talks with Annemiek about the development of her feature Breakwater, a co-production between The Netherlands, Ireland, and Belgium.

Following this, recorded at a live webinar, Scripteditor Gaia Meucci-Astley talks about her career, the industry, and how she works with writers to get their scripts to the best version possible. 

Utilising her unique background as a film programmer, Gaia shares her tips and tricks in working with your story and characters, to unlock the magic of storytelling.

This February at Berlinale, our sister chapter WIFT Germany held a powerful series of talks titled "Between Escapism, Activism and Documentation – Filmmaking in Trembling Times".

All too often, women are the ones who suffer the most. 

In this podcast, WFT Ireland Member Gemma Creagh speaks with WIFT Germany Board Member and actor Mara Luka who talks about their vast chapter, the film industry in Germany, and WIFT's close ties to the Berlinale Festival. 

Then in a live recording from the event, outgoing Berlinale Executive Director Mariëtte Rissenbeek talks about WIFT's relationship to the festival while Producer Zhang Fan from Bridging the Dragon discusses the film landscape in China. 

This recording and podcast was made possible with the support of Coimisiún na Meán, WIFT Germany and Berlinale.

This February Netflix, supported by WFT Ireland and Screen Ireland, hosted an exclusive screening of five short films produced via The Netflix Documentary Talent Fund. The event took place at The Stella Cinema Rathmines and featured a Q&A with WFT members and filmmakers Anna Rodgers and Zlata Filipovic, whose emotional documentary Two Mothers was a recipient of the scheme.

Two Mothers is an incredibly emotional story about maternal struggles, the impact of war, as well as how friendship can transcend borders.

The fund was created in 2020 to break down barriers of access for emerging filmmakers. The initiative provides filmmakers with a foundation of knowledge as well as hands on training in all aspects of the industry to allow them to grow their careers.

Two Mothers Podcast: Anna Rodgers and Zlata Filipovic Discuss Netflix Fund

"Machine Get Sense" je provokativna techno traka koja istražuje granicu između tehnologije i ljudskosti. Kroz kompleksne elektronske ritmove i sintetičke zvučne pejzaže, ova traka oživljava futuristički svijet u kojem strojevi počinju percipirati i osjećati. Dinamični beatovi i pulsirajući basovi stvaraju napetu atmosferu dok se razvijaju teme umjetne inteligencije i tehnološke evolucije. Svaki ton i zvuk u traci su pažljivo dizajnirani kako bi dočarali trenutke "osvještavanja" strojeva, nudeći slušateljima ne samo glazbeno iskustvo, već i putovanje kroz moguću budućnost.
