We are glad to renew our partnership with When East Meets West in the organisation of the inspirational lab "Impact Zone"!
When East Meets West will take place in Trieste, from January 19 to 22, 2025.
The lab will be led by Vivian Schröder, Impact Director at The Good Media Network.
ESoDoc’s lab at WEMW is dedicated to empowering filmmakers to harness the transformative power of storytelling. Hosted by The Good Media Network—the visionary organisation behind Berlin’s brand new and innovative media and nonfiction festival Dokumentale, as well as Germany’s pioneering film and impact initiative, The Good Media Pitch—this lab is a hands-on co-creation space. It invites selected fiction and documentary projects to explore how their stories can ignite meaningful change in society.
Through a dynamic, guided workshop, participants will craft a compelling vision for the societal shifts they hope to inspire. The process includes defining clear, actionable impact goals and outlining strategic steps to unlock their film’s full potential. By diving into the nuances of impact, the lab aims to deepen participants’ understanding of the role stories play in creating change—not just for their productions, but for audiences, collaborators, and the broader community.
Key outcomes of the workshop include the development of a foundational impact strategy tailored to integrate seamlessly into every stage of the filmmaking process, from scriptwriting to distribution. Participants will gain practical tools and personalised guidance to refine their vision and implement effective campaigns.
