The European MFI Script 2 Film Workshops, organised by the Mediterranean Film Institute (MFI), are returning for their 26th edition on the island of Nisyros. From 20 June-2 July, over 70 screenwriters, directors and producers from 24 countries will gather on the volcanic island to develop their scripts and ideas through a combination of group sessions, individual consultations and master classes.

This year’s edition attracted nearly 250 applications from more than 50 countries, ranging from Kazakhstan and Peru to Finland, Palestine and Tunisia. A total of 24 feature-length scripts, six documentaries, three series projects and seven story-editor trainees were selected to participate. The programme includes two residential workshops (in Nisyros in June and Astypalea in October), as well as two online sessions.
