Young Horizons Lab, script development programme

The programme focuses on script development of live-action and animation films and series. Within the programme, we aim to work on the projects which are at different stages of development (the concept of the story, early development, more advanced development).

Young Horizons Lab (Polish name: Młode Horyzonty Lab; formerly known as Kids Kino Lab) was created to support emerging storytellers who are taking first steps in the field of professional scriptwriting as well as experienced writers.

During six months and three on-site sessions, the programme’s participants supported by the tutor Philip LaZebnik develop and work on the best structure of their projects. Emphasis is put on group work, individual consultations with tutor, and individual work of the participants between the sessions. Besides the on-site sessions, participants take part in online consultations with Philip LaZebnik (between each session).

The programme is conducted in English.

Young Horizons Lab is co-organised by Young Horizons, a part of the New Horizons Association and Creative Europe Desk Poland. Co-financed by Polish Film Institute. In partnership with the Mazovia Institute of Culture and Mazovia Warsaw Film Commission.
