15 Oct 2026
Following a successful first edition in 2025, the Script Circle Workshop returned to Film Fest Gent for a second time. During this three-day workshop, selected screenwriters work intensively on their projects under the guidance of internationally renowned script consultants Franz Rodenkirchen and Françoise von Roy. The workshop provides a space for substantive feedback, fresh perspectives, and exchange among creators. In this way, deAuteurs supports the development of strong, distinctive screenplays and invests in the talent of tomorrow.
Franz Rodenkirchen and Françoise von Roy are script consultants who assist international filmmakers in developing their script treatments and films.
From more than 60 submissions, 6 excellent projects were selected. The following creators and their respective projects were chosen:
- Oogst – Sien Volders & Anke Blondé
- Loveling – Charlotte De Bruyne
- Jakub’s Room – Leonardo Van Dijl & Stanislaw Drygiel
- The Breakdown – Olympia Allaert
And the following individuals were selected without a specific project:
- Mon Dewulf
- Saskia de Coster
Franz Rodenkirchen: "Working in a group also means having a kind of test audience—a group of people who reflect on the current state of a project. It is essential to emphasize, however, that this does not mean someone else necessarily knows 'better'; rather, it is an exploration where the final word always rests with the filmmakers themselves. They decide what is most valuable to them. As far as we understand, they generally find this process useful."
