The Fund’s 3rd lab for scriptwriters and creative producers welcomes all formats and especially projects with Nordic co-production potential.

Nordisk Film & TV Fond is pleased to announce that the industry-training initiative Nordic Script will carry on for at least one more round. The initiatives co-founding partners are the City of Helsinki, NRK/Oslo Series Days and the Gothenburg Film Festival.

Nordic Script is a unique opportunity for Nordic scriptwriters and commissioners/story editors/producers to hone their skills under mentorship guidance. The mentors are Norwegian Margrete Soug Kåset, Swedish Maria Clauss, and Danish Anton Breum.

Nordic Script participants develop their stories during the lab from September 2024 to June 2025. The initiative also offers extraordinary possibilities to network with Nordic peers, and meeting prominent international guest speakers at prominent industry events in the lab cities.

This year, all feature film and series formats are welcome. A focus will be put on projects with potential to become Nordic co-productions.
