As a screenwriter, how do you maintain your autonomy in an industry increasingly driven by market trends and external pressures? How do you stay true to your own creative voice within commercial frameworks? What are concrete tools you can use in this process? Become inspired during de Dag van het Scenario.
Activist pamphlet
Screenwriter and director Willem Bosch ushers in this day with a critical look at the Dutch film landscape.
Female Gaze
Gwyneth Sleutel, dramaturg at NTR and FD Talent 2024, opens the day with an activist pamphlet on sex clichés and how the female gaze can enrich the film industry. Why is awareness needed before we can take action? And how do you remain autonomous as a writer when you keep seeing recurring stereotypes on screen? Gwyneth keeps us informed!
Autonomy in a streaming age
How do you stay true to your artistic vision when collaborating with commercial streaming services? Swedish screenwriter Lisa Ambjörn, known for Young Royals, Sjukt, and Sommaren 85, shares her experiences in this keynote. What crosses your path when you make the transition from screenplay to showrunner? Lisa reflects on the autonomy in her work.
How to stay close to yourself?
Using casestudies, screenwriters Bastiaan Kroeger (Geen koningen in ons bloed, Pink Moon), Jan Willem van Ewijk (Alpha., Pascifica.) and Dorien Goertzen (De F*ckulteit, Net als in de Film, Swanenburg) discuss how they guard artistic liberties. How do you stay close to yourself when producers and advisors come up with ideas during the development phase? What do you gain and what do you lose in the creative process?
At the end of the programme the Zilveren Krulstaarten will be awarded. The day will be concluded with drinks.
