SOURCES 2 – the source of quality scripts in Europe

SOURCES 2 is an advanced training programme for European film professionals working in the field of script and story development and offers workshops all over Europe for international participants, who are guided by international advisers.

SOURCES 2 supports indigenous stories of interest to an international audience and contributes to a high standard of scriptwriting and script development in Europe.

SOURCES 2 Script Development Workshops are high-powered work units for scriptwriters and teams of writers and co-writers, directors or producers with a specific film project in development.

SOURCES 2 is more than mere training; its unique mentoring approach has proven to be extremely successful and has helped to bring scores of European films to the screen. To date: 75 films have been made and a great number of feature and creative documentary projects are in (pre-)production. SOURCES 2 offers access to an international network which includes film professionals from 25 countries.

SOURCES 2 has developed an additional training scheme for mentors: SOURCES 2 Projects & Process – Training Mentors for European Scriptwriters and Documentary Filmmakers is an intense programme which makes the SOURCES 2 mentoring approach and methodology transparent to professionals such as scriptwriters, dramaturges, developers, editors, producers, commissioning editors and tutors.

Between 1992 and 2009 the SOURCES Programme realised 60 workshops in 18 European countries, supported by the MEDIA Programme of the European Community and its partners, who represent public and private organisations throughout Europe.

Target Group

SOURCES 2 Script Development Workshops are tailored to professional European scriptwriters and teams of writers and co-writers, directors or producers developing a film project.

Team participation is encouraged as a means of strengthening creative partnerships and increasing the efficiency of the development process.

Teams submitting a feature film project might be composed of the writer and co-writer, director or producer. Documentary filmmakers submitting a creative documentary are equally encouraged to apply as a team which might be composed of the director and researcher, producer, editor and/or cinematographer.

Filmmakers who want to attend the workshop on their own are naturally welcome to apply as well.

SOURCES 2 Projects & Process – Training Mentors for European Scriptwriters and Documentary Filmmakers is tailored to scriptwriters, developers, script editors, producers and trainers working as mentors for writers in the field of script and story development who are interested in enhancing their skills and exchanging experiences with international colleagues.
