SUMMARY:What Makes Great Drama Great? - Screenwriting Masterclass with Eleanor Greene (In person)
DESCRIPTION:Why do great stories make us gasp\, or catch our breath in wonder? Why does a moment of raw\, flawed humanity stop us in our tracks? And why\, even in the darkest tales\, does a flash of levity increase our enjoyment of the story? \nIn this masterclass\, led by award-winning executive producer and script editor Eleanor Greene\, we will explore the key elements of successful drama\, starting not with structure or formula\, but with something more fundamental: how we experience our favourite stories\, and why some of them stay with us forever. \nEleanor has spent her career inside the room where stories get made: developing scripts\, working with writers\, and producing drama at the highest level. In this masterclass\, she shares the framework she has developed through that experience: the essential elements that every great story needs to move an audience. \nIn the morning session we will explore these elements through the lens of existing successful shows and films\, examining why they work\, why they affect us the way they do\, and what writers do to create those effects deliberately. \nIn the afternoon we move from theory to practice\, with a series of hands-on exercises designed to improve specific aspects of your writing: how to write sharper dialogue\, how to eradicate exposition\, how to use subtext to build tension in a scene\, and how to construct a series quickly and confidently using the tools we explored from the morning’s session. \nYou will leave with a framework you can apply immediately\, and a clearer sense of the writer you want to be. \nEleanor Greene is an award-winning creative with over 25 years experience in developing\, pitching and producing scripted TV and film. A BAFTA nominated Drama Executive Producer\, Script Editor and TV fanatic she has made shows across many genres and lengths\, including sitcom\, thriller\, police procedural\, political\, historical and factual drama\, multi episodic series and features. \nThis workshop takes place in person in the New Room at the Library. Doors will open at 10.15am for a 10.30am start. Please see our Event Access Guidelines before you arrive. \nTea and coffee will be provided throughout and we will have pens and paper available but feel free to bring your own writing material. We will break for an hour for lunch and you are welcome to bring your lunch with you – there is a fridge – or there are plenty of places to buy food nearby. \nLondon Library events are subject to Terms & Conditions

SUMMARY:Only Beautiful Things to Look At + Q&A with director Ivan Ostrochovský and actress Aňa Geislerová
DESCRIPTION:Ingrid (Aňa Geislerová)\, a successful gynaecologist at a district hospital in late-1980s Czechoslovakia\, lives a comfortable life with her music-teacher husband Maroš in a beautiful house in the countryside. At work\, she delivers babies\, performs abortions and takes part in sterilisation procedures\, often without her Roma patients’ informed consent\, believing she is acting in their best interests. But when Agáta\, a young Romany woman\, joins the hospital staff\, Ingrid’s carefully ordered world begins to shift. As the two form an unexpected bond\, Ingrid is forced to confront the unsettling truth that even the noblest intentions cannot justify the means. \nWinner of the FIPRESCI Award at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival\, Ostrochovský’s beguiling\, intimate drama confronts a suppressed chapter of Czechoslovak history\, when the state sought to control women’s reproductive choices and Roma women were subjected to forced sterilisation under the guise of modernisation\, care and medical progress. \nIvan Ostrochovský\, Slovak Republic\, Czech Republic\, Hungary 2026\, 88´\, English subtitles\nCast: Aňa Geislerová\, Simona Boledovičová\, Eva Mores\, Vlad Ivanov\, Éva Bandor\, Attila Mokos

SUMMARY:Valerie and Her Week of Wonders + Intro by writer Virginie Sélavy
DESCRIPTION:The boundary between dream and reality blurs in this hallucinatory coming-of-age work with nightmarish turns. \nA girl on the verge of womanhood is introduced to the perilous world of desire\, in this gothic folktale filled with macabre symbolism. Between demons\, incestuous love and vampiric grandmothers\, nothing is what it seems. Made before the cultural restrictions of the normalisation period took over the country’s film industry\, this late work of the Czech New Wave still retains its cult status. \nDigitisation carried out in 2026 in UPP and Soundsquare studios by the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival in collaboration with the Národní filmový archiv\, Prague and the Czech Audiovisual Fund\, with funding from Milada Kučerová and Eduard Kučerá. \nDir. Jaromil Jireš\, Czechoslovakia 1970\, 77´\, English subtitles. (15)\nCast: Jaroslava Schallerová\, Helena Anyžová\, Petr Kopřiva and Jiří Prýmek. \nContains scenes of abuse and suicide.

SUMMARY:Closing Gala: Changes + Q&A with director David Ondříček and actor Jaroslav Plesl
DESCRIPTION:David Ondříček\, director of the cult Prague film Loners\, returns to the city that has long inspired his work with Changes\, a witty and bittersweet portrait of lives in flux\, featuring the music of UK-based Rhumba Club. \nSeven people at different stages of life cross paths in contemporary Prague. As relationships begin\, unravel and change\, Martin (Jaroslav Plesl)\, Kamila\, Dan\, Romana\, Karel\, Marek and Emma grapple with love\, family\, ambition and the messy gap between the lives they imagined and the lives they are actually living. With an excellent ensemble cast\, Changes has a distinctly personal and lived-in quality. Drawing on the lives of those around him and writing the roles specifically for his actors\, Ondříček combines observational humour\, gentle irony and unexpected twists with naturalistic dialogue and a strong musical thread to create a warm\, perceptive film about relationships\, choices and the possibility of starting again. \nDavid Ondříček\, Czech Republic 2026\, 110 min\, English subtitles\nCast: Jaroslava Plesl\, Václav Neužil\, Martha Issová\, Denisa Barešová\, Jan Nedbal\, Vojtěch Vodochodský\nAge rating: 18 \nFollowed by the Made in Prague Closing Party\, featuring a special DJ set by Rhumba Club\, at The Lower Third.\nEveryone is welcome (tickets via The Lower Third). \nCome for the film\, stay for the music and dance into the night with the stars \nThis even is part of the 30th Made in Prague Festival organised by Czech Centre
