The Papagena Screenwriting Festival is a space dedicated to celebrating the art of audiovisual writing in its many forms. Focused exclusively on screenplays, the festival seeks to recognize new creative voices and offer visibility to original short, feature, series, and documentary projects.

Entirely online and accessible, the event features free workshops, lectures, and discussion groups, fostering exchanges between screenwriters, audiovisual professionals, and the public interested in the creative process.

Our goal is to encourage the creation of innovative stories, recognize emerging talent, and build a support network for those who want to transform words into images.
