A solid screenplay is the foundation of a successful film. At Meditalents, we help emerging filmmakers sharpen their narrative to make it more impactful.
Each year, we select and bring together young talents from Southern Europe, North Africa, and the Mediterranean Middle East to take part in our dedicated Labs.
These creative spaces offer a framework to structure and develop their first feature film—whether fiction or documentary.
