The Arctic Script Lab is a development programme for Nordic and Sámi screenwriters and writer-directors working on their first feature films and documentaries rooted in Arctic experience. Each year, a cohort of eight to ten emerging writers is selected through an open call to take part in an intensive lab combining online and on-site modules.

The Lab offers structured dramaturgical support, peer feedback, and mentoring from Nordic, and international tutors. It is designed to develop individual projects and build a lasting cohort of Arctic voices - writers who know each other's work, share references, and can support one another across borders and languages.

More information and the 2026 open call coming soon.
