A space where writers can refine their skills, receive feedback, and connect with a community that shares their passion for storytelling. The SFIF Writers Lab also plays a crucial role in the development and success of Icelandic writers by providing a supportive environment for learning, growth, collaboration, and networking.

A 3-day Writers’ Room Lab exploring the creative process of storytelling for Film & TV. The goal of the lab is to develop and encourage new languages of storytelling to emerge and build a  pipeline of writers telling stories that would otherwise not come to the surface. Our major initiative is to invite writers who are experienced but who need their craft nurtured and work through their market-ready screenplays to pitch them to the industry.  

Participants  

This is not a lab for beginning writers. Each writer should have completed a screenplay or a feature/TV episode in order to be eligible.  

Application Process  

Participants will apply with scripts in development and 12 writers will be invited to the program. 

Please note this is ONLY open to writers who have had experience writing a script before.  The lab is not for first-time writers. 

To participate in this program it is necessary to submit a project logline and synopsis, a script, and a writer bio.
