Q&A with Gunhild Enger

Q&A, screening · 2 hours

What is script writing anyway, and is it actually necessary? Gunhild Enger will try to explain how she finds her stories, how important specific words may be, as well as long takes and framing. “I think it would be interesting to talk a bit between every film to see different ways of approaching the script writing process, as well as look at my development as a filmmaker”.
