The Rocaberti Writers' Festival
The Rocaberti Writers' Festival - Cardona 2027
Rocaberti' s holding a special Festival to celebrate our 10th Anniversary! And it's going to be held at a stunning medieval castle, Castell de Cardona, in northeastern Spain: a 10th century castle on a hill towering over the El Cardener river. ♥️
The Rocaberti Writers' Festival will take place over 3 days, from October 12th-15th, 2027, with the main focus being on How to Get Your Project Made.
⭐This is a small, exclusive Festival, with just 50 writers selected to attend, by 10 award-winning Rocaberti mentors: film producers, directors, financiers and execs.
And these mentors will be holding exclusive, one-on-one sessions with the writers, on the next best steps towards getting the projects which you've been working on so hard, either at home, or at a retreat, out there and into the world!
In addition to these special sessions, there'll also be:
- A Welcome Mixer, presentations, screenings, small-group sessions, Q&A & round-table discussions, all focussed on the ways and means of getting your project out into the world!
- And, of course, a Gala Dinner and party (it wouldn't be Rocaberti, without a party! 😎) all held under the auspices of the Cardona moon!
A surprise guest will also be joining us for this auspicious occasion! 😀🎬
⭐ Numbers for the Festival are limited, therefore, just 50 writers will be selected to attend, with the final shortlist personally selected by the Rocaberti mentors... and, in addition, with one writer awarded a Full Scholarship to attend!
