AdaptLab is an advanced course designed for professional European scriptwriters and/or writer/directors wishing to develop an adaptation from eight previously selected Italian novels. AdaptLab is a long-term training course consisting of three five-day residential workshops and two online sessions for eight participants. It follows the whole adaptation process, analysing the book's potential, exploring the different possibilities of its story world and following its development of the extended treatments and/or scripts. There will be the possibility to present the work to a group of international producers (of which at least fifteen are focused on adaptation), sales agents and other industry professionals from all over the world during the TorinoFilmLab Meeting Event in November 2012. Participants will also be guided in the possibillities of expanding the story world through other media (mobile, internet, graphic novels).

Fee: there is no participation fee. TorinoFilmLab covers hotel and meals during the workshops but participants must pay for their own travel.
