Are you a filmmaker with aspirations of making a feature film? Or you have made one or two films, but want to learn more about the art of scriptwriting and script editing, as well as inter- national co-productions and festivals? SEAFIC Open House welcomes you all.

SEAFIC Open House is a public event which, through free screenings, panels and talks, meet and greets, and live pitchings, introduces SEA- FIC's mission to develop filmmakers and producers from the region.

The idea behind Open House is akin to opening the campus of a university to visitors to come and know more about what goes on inside. From script editing, co-production and festival strategy, we cover important subjects which filmmakers could learn from. And filmmakers from the whole region and beyond are invited to come attend.

Organized by

SEAFIC (Southeast Asia Fiction Film Lab) is a pioneering non-profit script and development lab created for Southeast Asian filmmakers in order to strengthen the quality of feature-length fiction films from the region.

The parallel producers’ lab, called SEAFIC x PAS, is run jointly with Festival des 3 Conti- nents’ Produire au Sud. NOV 3 at the Goethe-Institut Screening Auditorium, 2nd oor SATURDAY
