la salle de sport

The training program for the development of feature-length fiction and documentary films

THE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM

La Salle de Sport development program offers a unique opportunity for those interested in the world of development to attend Salle de Sport workshops. This program is aimed at film professionals such as creative producers, script editors, development managers and commissioning coordinators, who wish to strengthen their skills in the follow-up of feature film projects.   By joining this program, you’ll have the opportunity to broaden your knowledge of development by discovering the methods and tools used by the Salle de Sport and guest consultants. As a participant, you’ll take part in the workshops as a spectator alongside the writers and consultants, giving you a privileged place to observe from the inside how La Salle de sport uses the collective round-table discussion exercise to bring out the writers’ avenues for reworking, as well as their questions, doubts, proposals and progress in the writing process.


En rejoignant ce programme, vous aurez l’opportunité d’élargir vos connaissances en développement en découvrant les méthodes et les outils utilisés par la Salle de sport et les consultants·es invités·ées. En tant que participant·e, vous serez intérgré·e aux ateliers en tant que spectateur·rice aux côtés des auteurs·rices et des consultants·es, vous offrant ainsi une place privilégiée pour observer depuis l’intérieur comment la Salle de sport utilise l’exercice du tour de table collectif pour faire éclore des pistes de re-travail chez les auteurs·rices, puis les questionnements, les doutes, les propositions et les progressions du processus d’écriture de ces derniers·es.

THE WORKSHOPS

The workshops are part of the Salle de sport methodology. Through collective feedback and listening, they help participants from day one to identify the main stages in their writing process. Some workshops will be built around specific areas of work, such as – the film’s political theme – or – character development-. As workshops are privileged moments for sharing experience and methodology, we ask external consultants to pass on their own tools to enrich the workshop “toolbox” and offer a diversity of approaches to best adapt to the plurality of participants’ proposals.
