Content Tabs

A standalone 2-hour session designed to help storytellers across documentary, TV, short, and feature filmmaking uncover and shape compelling ideas.

Where do great ideas for visual storytelling come from? This session explores practical techniques for generating original stories, breaking past creative blocks, and identifying ideas with strong visual potential. Through interactive exercises and analysis, participants will leave with fresh inspiration and tools to spark new projects, whether for a short film, feature, or TV series.


This session is delivered by Fateme Ahmadi, an award-winning Iranian writer-director whose films have screened at Cannes Directors’ Fortnight and Locarno and received a BIFA nomination. A Berlinale Talents alum and Film London Lodestar, she is currently developing her debut feature Daughter of Eden with BFI, BBC Film, and Screen Ireland.
