Script Writers can apply for the Lübeck Screenplay Scholarship until 31 August. You can find out what the scholarship is all about and how to apply here.
The "Lübeck Screenplay Scholarship" awarded by the Nordic Film Days offers holistic material development funding, in which Script Writers receive resources, time and freedom to bring a new story to market maturity. Two scholarships are awarded each year: one for writers with a new, programme-filling fictional cinema project and one for Lübeck writers with an idea for a visual narrative that is open in terms of format and platform, such as a VR experience, 360° fulldome or series.
Designed for an initial period of three years, the annual scholarships are funded by the Possehl Foundation and come with prize money totalling 35,000 each. In addition, the scholarship holders receive project support in the form of dramaturgical advice, residency, research and networking opportunities in Lübeck and at the Nordic Film Days.
The scholarship holders will be selected by an independent jury of experts based on their submitted screenplay projects. The first selected scholarship holders will be announced at the opening of the 65th Nordic Film Days Lübeck (5.11.2023) on 1 November 2023.
The scholarship is aimed at Script Writers with a biographical connection to Lübeck. The project must not have been started or funded elsewhere.
Interested parties can apply until 31 August.You can find more information about the application process here.
