Marginal Screenwriting Room - TELL US ABOUT YOUR SHORT FILM - #2 EDITION

ACTIVITY FOR PRE-REGISTERED PARTICIPANTS

In partnership with Kinoforum, the Sala de Roteiro Marginal collective brings back to the Festival the project "Tell Your Short Film," an initiative for residents of the outskirts of the city over 18 years of age with little or no experience in audiovisual production and screenwriting.


Following the registration period in July 2025, 8 short film scripts were selected to receive mentoring during the Festival on script development and project structuring, with a view to securing funding for production.


Understood as a way to empower people through learning from more experienced individuals in the field, the initiative brings together mentors with experience and research in technical and artistic areas related to audiovisual production, while the mentees are beginners in these professions.
