FFF WRITERS‘ DELEGATION AT SXSW
With support from FilmFernsehFonds Bayern, a delegation of Bavarian writers participated at this year’s SXSW Conferences & Festival in Austin, Texas. The trip signals FFF Bayern’s aim to strengthen its support for screenwriters and further develop its international activities and networks.
Five writers participated in the Writers’ Delegation: Natalie Spinell, Andy Wolff, Niklas Hoffmann, Christian Lex and Anne Keßel. Two mentors – Egbert van Wyngaarden and Philipp Schall – from Transmedia Bayern, which also offered financial support to the delegation, accompanied the group and the FFF funding executive Lisa Giehl.
The Writers’ Delegation program gave the writers access to numerous events at SXSW concentrating on storytelling, artificial intelligence and digital content, as well as a Bavaria-Québec Dinner sponsored by FFF Bayern, the Representation of the Québec Government, and the Representation of the Free State of Bavaria in Québec.
