Screenwriting Research Network Conference 2024

Conference Theme: “Conversation Beyond Script”

Dates: September 11-14, 2024

Location: Palacký University, Olomouc, Czech Republic

The Screenwriting Research Network invites scholars, researchers, practitioners, and enthusiasts to participate in the Screenwriting Research Network Conference 2024. This annual event serves as a vibrant platform for the exchange of ideas, insights, and research findings in the field of screenwriting and storytelling in audiovisual media.

The central theme for SRN 2024 is “Conversation Beyond Script,” encouraging a broad exploration of dialogues and communication within the world of screenwriting and beyond. Although we emphasize the role of dialogues in scripts and films, we also invite you to interpret this theme metaphorically, considering filmmakers’ discussions in the crews, intercultural dialogue, and other related topics.

Conference organizers:

• Jan Černík (jan.cernik@upol.cz),
• Anna Šimáková (anna.simakova01@upol.cz),
• Filip Faja (filip.faja01@upol.cz)
