The EKRAN+ programme is based on the experiences made with the previous 12 editions of EKRAN programme (2004 – 2016). EKRAN+ is a European project based professional training programme, primarily designed for directors/writer-directors, focusing on the vision of their future film and tailoring them for the future audience. This vision is elaborated through the combination of three major elements: the script, the audiovisual components and the collaboration with the other professionals involved in the shooting of the film. EKRAN+ is organized around a unique experience: the shooting of two key scenes of each participant’s project. This specific training set allows the participants to test and to learn by doing about their script, the audiovisual components of their film and the interdisciplinary collaboration. The EKRAN+ programme consists of three sessions and an additional follow-up session. EKRAN+ curriculum includes: treatment/script development, defining the tone of the film, finding strategies for visualization, developing abilities in telling stories through images, experimenting with casting and rehearsing, and above all, shooting two scenes from the script (one with Polish actors speaking English, one with invited from participants’ countries national actors) for the purpose of testing the developed narrative and visual ideas. The creative team (director, screenwriter, producer and DOP) are offered a choice of locations, actors and set design within the usual logistical and budgetary constraints. The process of the session is literally the journey “from paper to screen”. Participants start from analysis of the scene, re-write it, organize casting, rehearsals, storyboard session, shooting, editing, and screen and analyze the shot scene. EKRAN+ supports each step of pre-production, production and post-production with expertise of experienced directors-tutors.
