European Film College

Screenwriting Programme

University degrees: Courses

Course length: 1 year

Course city: Ebeltoft

There are two big secrets to our 1-year film foundation programme at EFC:

1. A constant shift between traditional class teaching, practical exercises and film production.

This offers you theoretical knowledge of film production as well as the chance to actually practice everything you learn in class. In terms of teaching, each course period consist of app. 25 teaching hours per week – and in terms of film production, our students produce more than 100 short films together during the programme.

2. The fact that students cannot pick a specific field of study, but are forced to dive into at least 3 different fields of filmmaking.

On one side, this allows our students to explore their true talent (maybe your talent is actually editing, and not directing?) – and on the other side, knowing more about other fields of filmmaking will make you better at your preferred field.

The 9 teaching fields at EFC

At EFC, we cover the essential roles in a film production, and we teach both fiction and documentary. In the autumn semester, you will get the chance to take 3 courses out of the 9 mentioned below – and in the spring semester you will be able to either specialize further or try out even more fields.

Screenwriting Programme

The experience of screenwriting should be something you really enjoy; something that is born inside of you and magically appears in print. When you sit down in front of that keyboard, you have the power to do anything and go anywhere you chose!

Learning screenwriting is essential for everyone who wants to be a filmmaker; knowing what makes a story tick and ultimately come to life, is fundamental for everyone in a film production, whether you’re a born writer or not.

Screenwriting at EFC covers all the tools you need as a screenwriter: how to find your stories, developing your story and characters, location scouting – finding inspiration in the world around you, being realistic in terms of production value, and working with a director and with actors.

Career guidance

Throughout the 1-year programme EFC will offer you career guidance to help you make the right choice for your future. Contact us for more information.
