THE WORLD BEFORE THE STORY

 

Every story begins long before the first scene.

A forgotten civilization. A distant future. A hidden geography. A myth waiting to be remembered.

This workshop explores the art of worldbuilding through collective storytelling, visual research, speculative imagination, and experimental filmmaking. Drawing inspiration from cinema, mythology, literature, design, and contemporary culture, participants work together to imagine worlds that do not yet exist—or perhaps once existed and have been lost.

We investigate how a place, a culture, a symbol, a ritual, or a fragment of history can become the seed of an entire narrative universe.

Rather than beginning with a plot, we begin with a question:

What kind of world could make this story possible?
