Script Pitch
At the heart of the interforum, the fringe program for professional visitors and film enthusiasts at interfilm Berlin, lies the International Script Pitch. For more than a decade now the program has been inviting the authors of innovative short films to Berlin to work on their screenplays and pitch them in a competition in front of an international jury after an intensive week of workshops and coaching.
The program will take place this year from November 4 to November 9. In October, there will be two online sessions (dates to be determined).
Script Lab
Be part of an inspiring 6-days Script Lab, including a pitch training, informal meet & greet opportunities for film professionals and the pitching sessions in Berlin. In October (the exact date will be announced soon) the finalists will have 5 minutes each to pitch their projects and convince the international jury of their idea.
The entire competition will be held in English.
An industry jury will choose a winner who will be granted with €2.000 (powered by CineSud) and access to the CineSud ShortsLab development program of 2026.
