Screenwriters' Festival
The first International Screenwriters’ Festival is taking place at the
Cheltenham Film Studios at Cheltenham, UK, between 27th and 30th June 2006.
The Festival is dedicated to the art, craft and business of writing for the
screen and will provide a unique forum for debate and discussion about writing
dramatic scripts for film, television and new media. It should be a hothouse of
story-telling and script-writing, bringing together professional industry
delegates, high profile guests and new talent from around the world.
The Festival is being supported by Julian Fellowes (Gosford Park), Bill
Nicholson (Gladiator) and Jimmy McGovern (Cracker, The Street) and sponsored by
C4, BAFTA, and the UK Film Council.
