Having launched this past March during the Series Mania Forum, the teams from Series Mania, CNC, (France’s National Center for Cinema and Moving Image) and Israel’s Gesher Multicultural Film Fund, today announced its Call For Applications for the first edition of its Franco-Israeli “Co-Writing Residency for Drama Series.”

This Co-Writing Residency project will enable 10 screenwriters – five French and five Israeli – to work in pairs and mutually discover the writing methods of the two countries and develop series projects with strong international ambitions. Two writing workshops will be organized in the coming months: the first will be held in Israel in the fall and the second in France in the spring of 2020.

The projects developed in this framework will be presented next year during Series Mania set for March 20-28, 2020 with the Series Mania Forum set for March 25-27, 2020.
