Starting from 2011 the programme is also open to 3 trainee script consultants from the Arab world.
The training, which consists of 2 residential 5-day workshops (one in Torino at the end of May/beginning of June and one in Dubai in December) is designed to match the needs of experienced professionals who want to develop their skills through concrete work on their projects - under the expert guidance of international tutors - and who are ready to share their ideas with colleagues and engage themselves in discussions in order to improve and increase their knowledge. The trainee script consultants will be trained as story editors working each on 4 of the 12 selected projects.
Interchange is run by TorinoFilmLab, the Dubai International Film Festival and EAVE. Support comes from MEDIA Mundus.
