Schreiben. Erfahrung. Fiktion

In the organizer's words:

Visual writing in and outside the comfort zone

What can I write about? What can I make a movie about? How can I draw on my own experience without being limited by it? Where does self-reflection end and fiction begin?

In this workshop series, we take our own experiences as a starting point for writing and experiment with creative writing and film exercises that support our process and help us to trust and pursue our spontaneous ideas. We are particularly interested in the interface between image and text. What impulses can come from an image, what narratives emerge from it? How do I find strong images for a story that I want to tell?

Whether it's a screenplay, short story or novel - ideas and texts you bring with you can be worked on in this workshop series. Texts, characters and motifs can be further developed over several sessions. The workshop takes place on eight consecutive and thematically structured dates :

08.11. Finding a beginning

15.11. Autofiction

22.11. Worlds of images

29.11. Figures and dialogs

06.12. Tracking down the theme

13.12. Plot and conflict

10.01. A world in five settings

17.01. Beginning and end
