WORKSHOPS [CINÉMA]
Three workshops to engage with the fundamentals of dramaturgy and the development of short and feature film scripts.
Through a unique approach, resulting from ongoing applied research at Groupe Ouest, these workshops encourage collective collaborations, intellectual mobility, and the exploration of unusual tools combining orality and visual representations, creativity, and complex narrative development.

WORKSHOPS [SÉRIE]
In recent years, Groupe Ouest has been responsible for designing some of the most innovative European methodological engines for series creation: for the Franco-Danish ARTE/TV2 Lab, for The Creative Connection, launched by Haut et Court and its coalition of European ‘creative producers’, and more recently for the European Writers Club, the European collaboration platform for series development.
In 2024, Groupe Ouest launched its new generation of French-language series development workshops, the result of all these collaborations: LA FABRIQUE DES MONDES SÉRIELS.
These workshops are aimed at series writers, or fiction authors – cinema, audiovisual, theater, literature – with a strong appetite for tackling series creation.
