Event Description

Eight of the top ten grossing movies of all time are from the science fiction or fantasy genres. Science fiction transports audiences to worlds light years away, to alternate realities, fantastic technologies and new social orders. Fantasy opens the door to new possibilities, transforms science with myth and magic and re-examines the spiritual. But how can screenwriters take the world and twist it so convincingly that audiences come back to escape again and again? This 1 day course will examine the conventions that define the science fiction and fantasy genres and look at some of the ways that filmmakers are breaking the ‘rules' and splicing genres together to create new and original stories. By the end of the course you should have acquired a deeper knowledge of the science fiction and fantasy genres along with specific tips and techniques to progress your own scripts and ideas.

The workshop is funded by Screen WM and led by Claire Ingham, Red Room Films.
