PROJECTS SUPPORTED BY SCREENPLAYERS, ILLUSTRATORS AND VFX SUPERVISORS
The residences take place at the Residence Center from Writing to Image in Saint Quirin. In parallel with support from screenwriters, authors will be offered the opportunity to work on the visual and musical universe of their project in collaboration with storyboarders, special effects experts and experienced composers. The selected scenarios will be read in music and images by actors during the Strasbourg European Fantastic Film Festival, mid-September 2023.
