5 CASE STUDIES_pic

Clinic for your Pitch, logline, dossier, rewriting and editing scenes. 5 Case Studies.  May-June 2022

EWA Network has teamed up with Fernanda Rossi, writer, film theorist and director in five unique case studies . The programme will be held in English and is designed to entirely take place on-line.  Perfect your pitching!

Have you tried different pitches or loglines without a clear method to decide what works and what doesn’t? Have you re-written or re-edited scenes and never know when they are truly done?

In five practical meetings for EWA members only, we’ll explore innovative tools using the principles of semiotics to improve your work. Whether it's a pitch, logline, dossier or scene (written or already shot and edited) you can practice in real time how to transform your materials from merely good to really great.

EAVE - Developing powerful female and male characters

Participants of the 2018 edition of the EAVE producer’s workshop are offered the opportunity to participate in EWA´S ground-breaking workshop to learn how to challenge the way we shape women and men in our films and become an innovative creator of female and male characters.

What impact do patriarchal thought patterns have on character development? As filmmakers, how do we influence the fictional presentation and perception of women and other social groups by our use of images and sound? Do we simply reproduce old ways of thinking through our « archeological » approach to presenting protagonists in our stories? What are the new tools for shaping characters in a more balanced way? What does it mean to activate a more feminine gaze on the world no matter whether you are a man or a woman? How we can help give birth to new perspectives on ourselves and others?
