Taller familiar: Escribir una película

Where do the stories we see on screen come from? Before there is a camera, a cast, or a shoot, every film begins with a script. Audiovisual media is part of children’s everyday lives in one way or another. This workshop aims to give them the tools to move from being viewers to becoming creators, discovering how to write stories that can be filmed at home or in the classroom.

This workshop offers a practical, participatory, and fun introduction to screenwriting. Designed for families, the activity invites participants to discover how a sequence is constructed, how characters speak, and why writing for film is different from writing a novel or a play.

Through games, visual examples, and creative exercises, participants will explore the essential elements involved in transforming ideas into actions, images, and dialogue. No previous experience is required—just curiosity and a desire to imagine and create together!

We will create a space where children and adults can collaborate and create together. By the end of the workshop, each team will have written its own film sequence and discovered that writing for film is, above all, a way of learning to see the world through different eyes.
