Mediterranean Film Institute

The Mediterranean Film Institute (MFI) is a specialised training organisation. Established in 1998, it has become a center for activities that bring together emerging screenwriters and directors from Europe and the Mediterranean region, teachers of cinema and accomplished professionals from the film industry. MFI is developing this initiative into a permanent center of continuous training for emerging European film talent, doing so in the land - and in an environment - that originally gave birth to Drama. Furthermore, it strives to create a meeting forum for European film professionals, which would be able to facilitate a creative interchange for re-addressing and re-discovering dramatic narrative technique, and for further elaborating on issues of contemporary cinematic narrative and dramaturgy. MFI Script Workshops is one of the most dynamic and successful screenwriting programs in Europe.
