EKRAN+

EKRAN+ is a project based training programme and a visual laboratory focusing on shooting practice and creativity in the pre-production process. EKRAN+ allows participants to explore, identify and refine the tone and the
visual language of their film.

EKRAN+ includes:
• Treatment and/or script development
• Preparation for shooting; visualisation, casting and storyboard
• Shooting
• Editing

After each step, participants receive valuable feedback and advice from the experts.

EKRAN+ supports the shooting with the expertise of casting directors, set designers and production managers. The creative team (director, screenwriter, DOP and producer) are offered a choice of locations, sets and experienced English-speakingactors. At the endof the EKRAN+ programme, each team will have a well developed treatment or a first draft of a script and two scenes, presenting the tone, genre and visual language of the project.

EKRAN+ is based in Poland and is proposed by the Wajda Studio & School, together with FOCAL and other European partners. Thanks to the support of FOCAL, one Swiss team can participate.
