The workshop, led by Palestinian scriptwriter and director Suha Arraf, was designed to introduce participants to the foundational elements of scriptwriting. The session focused on guiding filmmakers through the process of choosing and developing ideas, as well as how to effectively build and evolve film characters. Additionally, the workshop emphasized the importance of incorporating time and place into storytelling, and how to transform these elements into meaningful dialogue.
Testimonial
"The script writing teacher taught me great things about myself; most important of all was to be honest about my emotions. If you don't go through the process of understanding your emotions, you will never be able to communicate any other person's feelings, therefore it is imperative to give in to your emotions to write a good story. I am using the skills I learnt from the FilmLab workshop at my new job especially in the publications I do, and it has proven to be very helpful, as I get positive feedback from the people who read them."
