The Région Grand Est, through the CinEuro Film Lab, is launching a writing workshop programme dedicated to the theme of “Conflicts and Reconciliations”, in partnership with the Centre de résidence de l’écriture à l’image de Saint-Quirin. The programme is structured around six key in-person and online sessions taking place between 2026 and 2027.

Aimed at writers and directors, with or without a producer attached, this initiative supports the development of live-action and animated feature film projects exploring the vast theme of conflicts (past, present or future), as well as processes of reconciliation and peace.

Held in highly symbolic locations across the Grand Est region (France), the residency is organised alongside two major industry events: the War on Screen Festival (Châlons-en-Champagne) and the Forum Alentours (Strasbourg).

Six feature film projects will benefit from personalised mentoring led by Christophe Erbes and Corinne Destombes, who will be present throughout the programme. Participants will also receive guidance from Sepideh Farsi, the internationally acclaimed Iranian filmmaker whose fiction and documentary works notably address conflicts in Iran.

In addition to high-level script-doctoring sessions, the programme offers participants a structured environment conducive to professional development, network expansion and the emergence of international co-productions. Participants will have the opportunity to exchange with screenwriters and producers from the partner regions and to pitch their projects at Forum Alentours 2027.
