The Next TIFF Film at Keyano: Wadjda

Saudi Arabia’s first-ever submission for the Best Foreign Language Film Academy Award, Haifaa Al-Mansour’s "Wadjda"—which is not only the country’s first film by a female director, but one of the first features ever shot in Saudi Arabia—is a deceptively simple story about a determined 10-year-old girl who dreams of owning a bicycle, and is willing to do just about anything to obtain it.

2014 Alberta Screenwriters Initiative - Submissions Now Open!

Alberta Screenwriters Initiative

Submission Deadline: March 10, 2014

The Alberta Screenwriters Initiative calls for submissions of feature film scripts of any genre from an Alberta writer. An independent jury selects one script/screenplay to receive a workshop with an experienced story editor or screenwriter. The Writers' Guild of Alberta administers the initiative on behalf of the Alberta Association of Motion Picture and Television Unions (AAMPTU). The initiative recognizes the importance of story in the creation of filmed entertainment and the necessity to actively encourage and develop the voices of Alberta writers in film and television.
