Summer school in Visual Storytelling

Target audience

The program is designed for advanced students and professionals, with already a knowledge or experience in storytelling. Participants should have a strong project, the desire to develop it into a fully realized work, and the need to understand how to bring it to the first step of production. A strong taste for sharing ideas and working with others is recommended.

The program is 100% in English, however, most of the teachers will be fluent in English, French, and Spanish.
Participants will need to have a level of English that will allow them to follow the lectures. In the workshops, however, participants will be working with tutors who will follow their projects in the language they feel most comfortable with (English, French, Spanish).
