Michiel Huisman, Iddo Goldberg

Dir: Anne Fontaine Scr: Anne Fontaine, Camille Fontaine

The second feature from UK-based Argentinean filmmaker Dos Santos is a vivid, seductive saga of two young foreigners in search of elusive connections in cosmopolitan East London. Against a nocturnal landscape of grubby squats, hipster warehouse parties and drug-related instant friendships, rootless Spaniard Axl (Tielve) and New Wave-y Belgian heartbreaker Vera (François) seek their respective paths to happiness. With a nod to the Nouvelle Vague, Michel Gondry and Wong Kar-wai, this is a quirky, atmospheric and entirely engaging anti-romance, set to a soundtrack of UK indie bands.

France 2009 1hr 50mins With: Audrey Tautou, Benoit Poelvoorde, Alessandro Nivola, Marie Gillain, Emmanuelle Devos

The first and most fabulous of the dueling Chanel biopics arrives on UK screens, exquisitely attired for the occasion. Based on a French biography, the film focuses on the formative years where young Gabrielle traded a poor orphanage upbringing for a wealthy mistress’ life in pre WWI France. Surrounded by the corseted and feathered excesses of the monied classes, but inspired by the austerity of her youth, Coco stole from men’s fashions and convent inspirations alike to invent chic new, streamlined styles that freed women from bondage and turned Chanel into an icon of couture. Tautou was born to play Coco and her superb performance is supported by gorgeous set and costume design and a score by Alexandre Desplat. With thanks to Optimum Releasing. Coco Before Chanel will screen at Broadway from 31 July. “What I recognise of Chanel in myself is a strong spirit, intelligence and pride.” Audrey Tautou OPENING PARTY Celebrate the opening of the festival with our chic, Chanel-themed black & white party. Break out your little black dress or whip up some other suitably sophisticated monochrome magic and dance the night away.

Written under the auspices of the prestigious Cinefondation residency in Paris, Unmade Beds was co-financed by EM Media and shot on location in Nottingham and London. With thanks to The Bureau. “The year’s coolest paean to good music, bad hangovers and lost love...” Edinburgh Film Festival VEDETT CLOSING PARTY Join us in waving goodbye, adios, au revoir to the first edition of the festival in an Unmade Beds-inspired night of boho revelries.

paul schrader ScreenLit is thrilled to welcome acclaimed screenwriter and director Paul Schrader to Nottingham to receive the inaugural ScreenLit Lifetime Achievement Award in Screenwriting (see right). During his stay, Schrader will give a rare presentation of his internationally renowned masterclass in screenwriting (page 6) and will participate in audience discussions following the screenings of two of his films (page 5). This is indeed an extraordinary opportunity to hear directly from a legend of American cinema and one of the original ‘Movie Brats’ of the seventies, alongside directors such as Martin Scorsese, Francis Coppola, George Lucas and Steven Spielberg.

The filmmaker’s backstory itself has become a legend. Raised in the US Midwest in a strict Dutch Calvinist household, Schrader did not see a film until he was 18 years old. Then he made up for it with a vengeance, studying cinema at university and becoming a film critic at a young age, taken under the wing of Pauline Kael, America’s most influential critic. Throughout the years, Paul Schrader has remained passionate about cinema and has a knowledge of film history that spans decades and across the globe. He has taught film and published books and essays (see page 6). Schrader wrote his first screenplay, Taxi Driver, during a dark period in Los Angeles and this incendiary script really launched his career in filmmaking, initially as a screenwriter (often collaborating with Scorsese) and then moving into direction. His is a long and illustrious filmography, with an intense, focused vision.

SCREENLIT LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD IN SCREENWRITING Broadway is proud to award the first ScreenLit Lifetime Achievement Award in Screenwriting to writer/director Paul Schrader. His decades as a screenwriter have been defined by an uncompromising dedication to his particular vision and a deeply ingrained love of cinema and its rich history. We can think of no better recipient to launch this new annual award. The award will be presented to Paul Schrader at the screening of Mishima on Thursday 2 July.

MISHIMA: A LIFE IN FOUR CHAPTERS 15

With: Jeff Goldblum, Willem Dafoe, Derek Jacobi, Ayelet Zurer

with English subtitles

“The man who once was a dog who meets a dog who once was a boy.” - Paul Schrader Adapted from Israeli author Yorum Kaniuk’s internationally acclaimed novel, Adam Resurrected is the strange story of one man’s journey to reclaim his humanity. Goldblum gives a tour de force performance as Adam Stein, a charismatic patient in an isolated Israeli mental institution specialising in Holocaust survivors. Adam was a popular cabaret performer until he found himself in a concentration camp where he was forced to become the literal pet of Commandant Klein (Dafoe) to survive. Decades later at the Institute, Adam discovers a reason to draw upon this humiliating experience. With thanks to Bleiberg Entertainment and Schrader Productions.

Dir/Scr: Paul Schrader Co-scr: Leonard Schrader, Chieko Schrader

Q&A WITH PAUL SCHRADER Following the screening, director Paul Schrader will discuss the film with Film London CEO, Adrian Wootton. “His performance as Adam in this wonderfully weird and fascinating world of Noah Stollman’s screenplay gives Goldblum one of the most complex and moving roles of his career.” Kevin Spacey, Variety

US/Japan 1985 2hrs 1min Black & White & Colour With: Ken Ogata, Masayuki Shionoya, Junkichi Orimoto

“Paul Schrader’s visually stunning, collage-like portrait of acclaimed Japanese author and playwright Yukio Mishima (Ogata) investigates the inner turmoil and contradictions of a man who attempted an impossible harmony between self, art, and society. Taking place on Mishima’s last day, when he famously committed public seppuku, the film is punctuated by extended flashbacks to the writer’s life as well as by gloriously stylized evocations of his fictional works. With its rich cinematography by John Bailey, exquisite sets and costumes by Eiko Ishioka, and unforgettable, highly influential score by Philip Glass, Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters is a tribute to its subject and a bold, investigative work of art in its own right.” www.criterion.com With thanks to Schrader Productions. Q&A WITH PAUL SCHRADER Following the screening, Paul Schrader will discuss Mishima, placing it within the context of his career. “Schrader’s brilliant, baroque biopic comes close to being the filmmaker’s crowning achievement. It’s fetishistic, lyrical, narcissistic and, at key moments, borderline berserk. In other words, the movie captures its subject to a tee.” Time Out, New York

THE COMFORT OF STRANGERS 18 Dir: Paul Schrader Scr: Harold Pinter Italy/US 1990 1hr 44mins With: Christopher Walken, Rupert Everett, Natasha Richardson, Helen Mirren

Although showing as Paul Schrader’s selection, this screening also pays tribute to two British talents, both recently lost and sadly missed. Adapted by Pinter from Ian McEwan’s novel, this erotic, literary film follows a British couple (Richardson and Everett) who voyage to Venice to repair their crumbling relationship. But they soon draw the attention of an older, suave Italian man (Walken) and his wife (Mirren) who have special plans for them. Beautifully shot, with Venice playing a co-starring role, the film is set to a soundtrack by Lynch favourite Angelo Badalamenti. With thanks to Park Circus.

FRI 3 JULY, 3PM

PAUL SCHRADER: SCREENWRITING MASTERCLASS 12A In a two hour lecture illustrated with clips, Paul Schrader outlines a theory and method of screenwriting, based on a class he has taught. The writer-director draws upon his years as both film critic and filmmaker for this internationally acclaimed masterclass. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to learn from a true master of the craft. SAT 4 JULY Tickets: £20 full / £15 concs and members

TAXI DRIVER 18 Dir: Martin Scorsese Scr: Paul Schrader UK/US 1976 1hr 54mins With: Robert De Niro, Jodie Foster, Cybill Shephard, Harvey Keitel

Scorsese took Schrader’s first solo feature script and turned it into seminal seventies cinema. Oozing with quotable lines and memorable scenes, Taxi Driver is the nocturnal tale of pathologically lonely New York cabbie Travis Bickle (De Niro in an unequalled performance) and his dangerous obsessions. Although he was in a selfconfessed ‘dark place’ at the time (1972), Schrader reportedly wrote the screenplay in under a fortnight. “I wrote Travis Bickle,” he says, “in order not to become Travis Bickle. To get that animal out of me.” With thanks to Park Circus.

FIVE MINUTES OF HEAVEN

Biopic, Drama Documentary, Factualisation, Docudrama. The creative blurring of fact and fiction has resulted in a long, rich and often controversial vein of film and television. Recent examples have been abundant and popular, including this year’s Oscar-winner for Original Screenplay, Milk and just about anything written by Peter Morgan. Portraying real people and events can be rewarding on many levels, but the responsibility involved can be equally daunting.

With: Christopher Eccleston, Ricky Tomlinson, Annabelle Apsion,

Winner of World Cinema Awards for Directing and Screenwriting at the 2009 Sundance festival, Five Minutes of Heaven brought together the director of Downfall and the writer of Omagh to create a fiction inspired by real people. In 1975, 17-year-old UVF member Alistair Little murdered a 19-year-old Catholic, Jim Griffin, in Lurgan. 11-year-old Joe Griffin saw his brother killed.

Rachel Davies, Mark Womack, Tracey Wilkinson

Working closely with both men, screenwriter Guy Hibbert created a unique and compelling film that moves from a powerful re-enactment of these tragic events to a fictional interpretation of what might happen should these two men ever come face-to-face. The film explores the impact of the legacy of violence on both men. With thanks to the BBC, Pathe, Big Fish Films, and Ruby Films. Q&A WITH GUY HIBBERT Following the screening, BBC’s Creative Director, New Writing, Kate Rowland, will discuss with Guy Hibbert the process that resulted in the screenplay of Five Minutes of Heaven.

SAT 4 JULY, 3PM

“The film’s careful construction is what transforms this from predictable to transcendent.” www.festival.sundance.org BBC writersroom finds and develops drama and comedy writers for the BBC working across all broadcast platforms. Please go to www.bbc.co.uk/writersroom for further information.

There are few works of film or TV that can claim to have made a concrete difference to people’s lives. Hillsborough is one such programme. Following his searing Cracker episode on the subject, and with the full support of the families, McGovern applied the techniques of investigative journalism to the dramatisation of 15 April 1989 and subsequent events up to 1991. Powerfully melding the personal and the political, it paid equal attention to the people involved and the effects of the disaster upon their lives. Meticulously researched, Hillsborough sought to reveal the truth concealed behind police and media lies. It is testament to McGovern that newspapers cited Hillsborough as a factor in the Taylor Enquiry set up in 1997. With thanks to ITV Global Entertainment and the BFI. Q&A WITH JIMMY MCGOVERN Following the screening, Jimmy McGovern will discuss Hillsborough and his work in drama documentary.

‘Ninety-six dead at Hillsborough 20 years ago, and still no justice done save in Jimmy McGovern’s play about the disaster, which still stands alone as the tribute, the accusation, and the true witness to that act of criminal incompetence, the new “vice anglaise”.’ Melvyn Bragg, New Statesman (23/4/09)

THE RED RIDING TRILOGY 18

Channel 4 and Tony Grisoni’s distillation of David Peace’s ‘Yorkshire noir’ novels is dark, gripping television and an accomplished adaptation from an incredibly intricate narrative source. As each book adopted a slightly different style of prose, so each instalment of the series was shot using a different director and format. Hugely ambitious, the Trilogy is highly cinematic. Here’s your chance to experience it on the big screen in a marathon showing. With thanks to Channel 4 and the BFI. See the trilogy for just £12 full/£9 concs and members. Contact the box office for joint deal, not available online. Individual films at normal ticket prices.

With: Vincent Cassel, Cécile de France, Gérard Depardieu

With: Vincent Cassel, Ludovine Sagnier, Mathieu Amalric

Known as the ‘man with 1,000 faces’ and the ‘French Robin Hood’, the natty Jacques Mesrine (Cassel) was France’s most notorious gangster. His controversial legend persists. In a reign of pathological violence that had its roots in the French army during the Algerian War to his 1979 death on a Parisian street at the hands of the police, Mesrine grabbed cash and headlines in equal measure. He was also expert at prison escapes. This twopart biopic is based on Mesrine’s prison autobiography.

Part 2 slows the pace slightly, hones in on Mesrine’s attempts to present himself as an anti-establishment revolutionary, and offers another juicy supporting character, in the form of Mesrine’s escape-artist cellmate, François Besse (Amalric).

Part 1 breathlessly follows Mesrine’s induction into crime under the tutelage of an older gangster (Depardieu), his globetrotting criminal exploits, an attempt at respectability, followed by a spectacular prison break with his lover (de France) and an escape to Canada where more trouble awaits.

With thanks to Momentum Pictures. Mesrine Parts 1 and 2 will be released this summer. “He’s still an enigma. So we tried to present a study of his character that doesn’t force the public to choose one interpretation over another. Was he an anti-establishment icon? Or just a shameless gangster who got the ending he deserved?” Vincent Cassel in Le Figaro

Losey reached the peak of his career with this masterpiece, the second of his collaborations with Pinter exploring class and the British character. It’s a hot summer in Oxford where two contrasted dons (Bogarde and Baker) are close friends and deadly rivals. Their relationship is brought to a critical point by an enigmatic Austrian princess, a doomed British aristocrat and an off-screen accident. The visual richness of the film is showcased in this new 35mm restoration from the BFI National Archive. With thanks to the BFI.

Don’t miss this rare opportunity to see Kubrick’s ravishing costume drama on the big screen in a stunning new print. An 18th century Irish rascal marries into the aristocracy after a series of picaresque wartime adventures. “An object of widespread derision when released in 1975, Kubrick’s magisterial Thackeray adaptation now stands as one of his greatest and most savagely ironic films, not to mention one of the few period pieces on celluloid so transporting that it seems to predate the invention of cameras...” Village Voice, New York With thanks to the BFI.

Barry Chernoh

J.M. Coetzee’s 1999 Booker-winning novel, Disgrace, offered a disturbing insight into the soul of modern South Africa. The screen version does not disappoint and features an outstanding performance from Malkovich as the disgraced professor whose personal life reflects the turmoil of a country in transition. Dismissed from his university, David Lurie decides to visit his daughter at a remote farm in the eastern Cape that she shares with a trusted black worker. When they are savagely attacked by three black youths, David is finally confronted by the realities of a South Africa where the old rules no longer apply. With thanks to Fortissimo Films.

Based on the 2002 novel by Emmanuel Dongala, Sauvaire’s unforgettable film centres on Johnny Mad Dog, a 15-year-old boy in an unnamed African country who is already a veteran soldier. Johnny’s violent story is paralleled by that of 13-year-old Laokole, forced to flee the fighting with her younger brother and disabled father in tow. As the brutal actions of Johnny and his fellow soldiers result in growing numbers of refugees, Laokole and her family struggle to survive. With thanks to Momentum Pictures.

Winner of this year’s Best Drama Series BAFTA Award, Wallander was a passion project for its lead Kenneth Branagh, a fan of Swedish author Henning Mankell’s bestselling novels. World weary detective Kurt Wallander investigates a series of violent and terrifying murders in the beautiful setting of Skane, Southern Sweden. In this first episode, Wallander investigates the connections between the shocking suicide of a young woman and the vicious murder of a government minister. In the process he uncovers wrongdoing and corruption that extends to the heart of the Swedish establishment. Interestingly, Wallander was not transposed to the UK. Shot on location in Sweden, its cast was entirely British. With thanks to the BBC and the BFI.

In memory of national treasure Jack Cardiff, we screen this specially imported 35mm ’Scope print of his adaptation of D.H. Lawrence’s autobiographical novel. “Many of the exteriors were filmed on location outside Nottingham, and their authenticity is a plus factor. Against the background of the grimy mining village is unfolded the story the story of a miner’s son with promising artistic talents who is caught up in continual conflict between his forthright father and possessive mother. He sacrifices a chance to study art in London, gives up the local farm girl he loves, and eventually becomes entangled with a married woman separated from her husband.” (extracted from the original 1960 Variety review) Nominated for 7 Oscars (Freddie Francis was the winner for cinematography).

“A film worth making which has been honestly made.” The Times, 21/6/60 SONS AND LOVERS AND NOTTINGHAMSHIRE Sons and Lovers was shot in Nottinghamshire and at Pinewood Studios fifty years ago and premiered on 23 June, 1960. The venue for the glittering midnight charity event was the A.B.C. Elite Cinema on Upper Parliament Street. Unfortunately, the mayor was forced to send his regrets, along with a message of congratulations to the Nottingham Students Charity Carnival Committee, organisers of the festivities. This was duly published in the swanky 26-page programme available on the night.

D.H. LAWRENCE, CINEASTE? 12A In this illustrated lecture, Dr Sean Matthews, Director of the D.H. Lawrence Research Centre and Lecturer in Modern and Contemporary Literature at Nottingham University, will aim to answer the unanswerable question, ‘if Lawrence were alive today, would he be writing for the cinema?’ Amongst other things, he will address Lawrence’s attitude to film, big and small-screen adaptations of Lawrence’s work and whether or not Lawrence’s greatest novels are, ultimately, unfilmable. The talk will be preceded by a screening of short film The Odour of Chrysanthemums, based on the short story by Lawrence (Dir/Scr: Mark Partridge UK 2002, 29 mins).

Frozen River was the low-budget indie film that garnered two Oscar nominations this year: a Best Actress nod for Leo’s powerful performance and a second one for Original Screenplay (won by Milk). Surprisingly, even Tarantino gushed about the film at the 2008 Sundance Festival, claiming that it “put my heart in a vise and proceeded to twist that vise until the last frame.” High praise indeed for a solemn style-free début feature set in wintry upstate New York. Ray (Leo) is a single mom desperate to improve her family’s life when she is dragged into a lucrative and illegal scheme. She and a local Native American woman smuggle immigrants across the Canadian border. With thanks to Axiom Films. Frozen River is released this summer.

The acclaimed screenwriter of Gomorrah adds directing to his CV with this charming, gossamer and unpretentious tale of a sixtysomething man (played by the writer-director himself) who finds himself in an unusual situation. Gianni still shares a flat with his 93-year-old mum. When the building manager offers to forgive rent arrears in exchange for Gianni looking after his mother for a couple of days, he agrees. But the man turns up with his mum and elderly auntie in tow. Then a doctor friend deposits his mum as well. And so Gianni finds himself hosting a bevy of bickering and bantering old biddies.

Egoyan’s latest harks back to his earliest work. When a teacher (Khanjian) asks her class to translate a news story about a terrorist who plants a bomb in the airline luggage of his pregnant girlfriend, this has a profound effect on one of her students. Re-imagining this as his own family’s story, Simon begins to perpetuate this fictitious history via internet chatrooms. An orphan living with his uncle, Simon uses his new persona to explore his relationship with the past, especially the death of his parents. Adoration unfolds as a multi-layered, chronologically-fractured mystery, and the rich visual texture reflects this, combining 35mm with images from the internet and mobile phones. With thanks to New Wave Films. Adoration will be released in the autumn.

Directed by Bowie’s son and produced by Sting’s wife Trudy Styler, Moon is a ‘creepy, poignant funny and funny sci-fi’ (Edinburgh Film Festival). With a nod to cerebral space oddities 2001 and Solaris, it follows Sam Bell whose lengthy solitary assignment mining lunar rocks for an energy-strapped earth is almost over. Lonely and desperate to rejoin his family, he begins to experience hallucinations. As his return date nears, things begin to get seriously strange or is Sam just imagining things? With thanks to Sony Pictures UK. Moon will screen at Broadway in July.

“Di Gregorio’s approach is true to life, avoiding platitudes or exaggeration as he spins a warmhearted, humorous saga.” Variety With thanks to Artificial Eye Film Company. Mid-August Lunch will be released this summer.

NICHOLA BURLEY, BOLLYWOOD JANE. PHOTO: KEITH PATTISON

In a year where a slight story by F. Scott Fitzgerald became a star-studded, 3-hour Hollywood behemoth, we ask: is big really better? There’s a lot to be said for small yet perfectly formed, in short stories and short films.

SAT 4 JULY, 6.15PM BROADWAY AND GAMECITY PRESENT

CYBURBIA: AN ILLUSTRATED TALK BY JAMES HARKIN 12A FOLLOWED BY PANEL DISCUSSION Approximate duration: 2 hours

In the course of the last 30 years, many of us have become practised at pressing buttons and rapidly responding to a barrage of electronic messages on computer games, the internet, email and mobile phones. Using clips to illuminate his points, James Harkin argues that new and sophisticated kinds of stories which engage our restless cybernetic sensibilities can be found under our noses in mainstream contemporary cinema and television. 29 JUNE - 6 JULY James Harkin is a writer and social forecaster and Director of Talks at the ICA in London. His book Cyburbia: The dangerous idea that’s changing how we live and who we are, was published by Little, Brown in February. CYBURBIA - PANEL DISCUSSION Responding to issues raised in Harkin’s presentation, the panel will discuss the future of narrative and moving image in a digital age. Chaired by Margaret Robertson of GameCity, Nottingham’s annual festival of gaming. Panelists include Rob Yescombe, who is currently Creative Director for Crytek UK; Christine White, Academic Team Leader for Narrative and Interactive Arts in the School of Art and Design at Nottingham Trent University, and James Harkin. Presented in association with Writing East Midlands. Normal ticket prices apply GameCity is the UK's best-loved gaming event, attracting international speakers and exclusive game premieres. GameCity represents a unique platform for the games community to step up as an important part of contemporary culture. GameCity Squared runs from 27 - 31 October, 2009. www.gamecity.org Writing East Midlands supports, promotes and champions writing from the region. The agency aims to establish the East Midlands as a consistent producer of excellent writing and will create opportunities for practicing writers as well as discovering new writers of quality.

ACTIVE INGREDIENT Active Ingredient present a random screenplay generator designed specifically for Broadway. This will feature unforgettable film moments where characters are asked pivotal questions. How does the meaning of these scenes change when asked outside of their original setting and interpreted from another person’s point of view? Based on the device often used in films, where a character looks in the mirror, seeing themselves as protagonists in their own personal narrative, as another character or as themselves - Travis Bickle in Taxi Driver or Donnie Darko talking to Frank the dark, scary rabbit. In a private video booth with the option of adopting a disguise, an automated system asks you questions taken from iconic screenplays. Do we disclose another side of ourselves to the camera that we wouldn’t in normal situations, even when we know it has a public platform? Active Ingredient is an award winning digital arts group based in Nottingham. The videos will be broadcast live at: www-i.am.ai.net/screengenerator.

When the journalist Lynn Barber was 16, she was picked up by an attractive older man - and her life was almost wrecked. A bright confident girl on course for Oxford, she began a relationship which, incredibly, was encouraged by her conventional, suburban parents and led into the louche, semi-criminal world of west London at the dawn of the sixties. Ruin beckoned, until one day she made an important discovery. An Education, the opening piece of this fascinating memoir, initially appeared in Granta and has been adapted for film by Nick Hornby for an autumn cinema release. WED 1 JULY, 5.45PM Lynn Barber will follow her reading with Q&A and book signing. With thanks to Penguin.

BAFTA ROCLIFFE NEW WRITING FORUM 12A HOSTED BY ROCLIFFE FOUNDER FARAH ABUSHWESHA Approximate running time: 2hrs 15mins

The BAFTA Rocliffe New Writing Forum is both an interactive platform for new writing and a networking event. Created in 2000, the original format selects three 10 minute script extracts (short, feature, TV drama), chosen through an open submission process.

The Rocliffe New Writing Forums aren’t just for writers, but are a must-attend-event for anyone with an interest in new talent. www.bafta.org / www.rocliffe.com Tickets £5 full / £4 concs & members

A narrator sets each piece in context and the extracts are then performed by professional actors to an audience comprised of industry and public. Following each performance, the writers receive feedback from the industry co-chair and answer questions from the audience. The evening is rounded off with a Q&A between Farah and the industry co-chair and a relaxed networking session. Past industry co-chairs include John Madden and Mike Newell.

“Rocliffe provides the ideal opportunity for writers to flex their muscles with a real audience. Sharing your work for the first time with the outside world is a scary process but Rocliffe gives an invaluable forum for this which is both sympathetic and gently critical.” Rebecca O’Brien, Producer, Sixteen Films BAFTA’s programme of live events and webcasts gives you the chance to peek behind the screens of your favourite films, TV shows and videogames. Open to everyone, BAFTA events take place year-round in venues and at festivals across the country. Visit bafta.org for more details.

BBC WRITERSROOM ROADSHOW 12A WITH KATE ROWLAND

THE SCRIPT FACTORY TRAINING: TRUTH AND FICTION 12A

Approximate duration: 1hr 30mins

Duration: 1 hour 30mins

Ever wondered what happens to your script when you send it to the BBC? How we assess your work? What grabs us and what puts us off?

Most new writers will start out by drafting original spec screenplays, but even a quick scan of recent cinema releases will reveal that most produced films are based on existing stories (novels, short stories, plays, real lives and true events). The prospect of adapting the latest bestseller may seem a distant dream but the ability to structure a story from existing material is a skill every serious screenwriter should master. This session considers various creative approaches to working with source material plus some very practical principles.

Put your questions to the people who assess thousands of scripts a year for the BBC at this FREE event. Kate Rowland, the BBC’s Creative Director, New Writing, heads BBC writersroom to champion talent and develop opportunities for writers across television, radio and film. She commissions The Wire, a key new writing strand on R3. Previously, Kate was Head of BBC Radio Drama and a multi award winning director for theatre and radio. Tickets: FREE but must be booked online or at box office. BBC WRITERSROOM BBC writersroom finds and develops drama and comedy writers for the BBC working across all broadcast platforms. Please go to www.bbc.co.uk/writersroom for further information.

This session is taught by Rob Ritchie, regular tutor for The Script Factory. After working for the Royal Court Theatre, Rob worked as a Script Associate at Channel 4 then wrote his own screenplays, including Who Bombed Birmingham? A former Head of Screenwriting at the National Film and Television School, he has devised and delivered writing workshops in the UK and internationally. At time of going to press, this event is not confirmed. Please check www.broadway.org.uk/festival for update. Session fee: £15.00 full / £12.00 concs & members
