Arab writers and filmmakers can apply for a program about films.
Filmlab Palestine and Cinephilia Productions, in partnership with the British Council Palestine and the Danish House in Palestine, are seeking applications for the fourth edition of the Sunbird Stories Program.
The program aims to develop young filmmakers’ capabilities to produce films for children. Five projects will be selected and prepared for production through an intensive three-month program that includes screenplays, directorial training, production packaging, and financial and distribution plans.
A jury of industry professionals will award one to two projects with US$20,000 each.
Applicants must be in the development of a narrative short film screenplay targeting children and young audiences between the ages of 8-14, with Arabic as the main language of the film.
The deadline for applications is May 15.
