10:00–16:00 Workshop: Game On – Writing Stories with Choices (en)
What changes when the audience no longer just watches a story, but can influence what happens next? This hands-on workshop introduces the fundamentals of game narratives and non-linear storytelling, while also offering an overview of how narrative games have evolved. Through short case studies and practical exercises, participants explore how choice, consequence, character, and emotional stakes work in interactive stories.
A particular focus is on translating story into gameplay, understanding the player’s experience, and finding ways for story and gameplay to work together. Participants will explore how to adapt familiar storytelling skills to this distinct form: they will develop ideas, experiment with branching scenes and dialogue, and test how different choices shape the player’s experience.
The workshop is designed for writers and filmmakers who are curious about interactive storytelling and interested in discovering what changes when a story is no longer fixed but can unfold in many ways. No previous experience with games is required.
Workshop facilitator: Alina Brazdeikene, creative lead (LT) Space is limited.

10:00–15:00 Workshop: Colour Science – Building the Look (en)
Why does one image feel soft and natural, another cold and digital, and yet another unmistakably cinematic? This workshop introduces the fundamentals of colour science and look design through a practical exploration of how images are built. Participants learn to break a look down into its key elements – contrast, colour, saturation, texture, sharpness, and tonal response – and to understand how these components shape what we see and feel.
Using examples from film and photography, the workshop moves from observation to experimentation, exploring how different visual variables interact and how they can be manipulated to create a coherent aesthetic.
The aim is to develop a sharper eye, a stronger visual vocabulary, and a more intentional approach to shaping images. No prior knowledge is required.
Workshop facilitator: Leo Weissenbach, digital imaging technician (CH)
