Based in Berlin, Françoise von Roy works internationally as a script advisor on diverse projects, including genre, experimental, documentary, art film and serial narratives. Apart from consulting on individual productions, she lectures on development and screenwriting and mentors students at various institutions, e.g. the Dutch Film Academy, German Film and Television Academy (dffb), Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK), University of Malta and Civica Scuola di Cinema Luchino Visconti. She has worked for the Venice Biennale Cinema College and consults regularly on projects selected by the Kuratorium Junger Deutscher Film and the German Ministry of Culture and Media (BKM). Together with Franz Rodenkirchen at solace23 she holds the regular script development workshop ‘Script Circle’ for writers and filmmakers and the yearly intensive workshop ‘6 Days of Practice’ for producers and other professionals involved in script development. Françoise has worked in the film and television industry since the 1990s in various fields of production and development. She holds an MA in Media Production and a BA in Film and Philosophy from the University of Kent at Canterbury, UK. Françoise is particularly interested in supporting filmmakers in their individual processes of development - at any stage, from early idea, screenplay, to editing - discovering what and how their works will communicate and engage, whilst always acknowledging that this is a creative process.
