Studio Francis Ebejer – Call for Scripts

Studio Francis Ebejer is a golden opportunity for both emerging and seasoned scriptwriters, setting the stage for their creations to come to life. This project, riding on the history of the Premju Francis Ebejer and the Atelier Francis Ebejer, is designed to equip writers with the essential resources for thorough research and development. Our goal is to cultivate three high-caliber scripts that will resonate on stage and radio, each culminating in their production by our trio of national cultural institutions.

This year’s edition builds upon last year’s successful collaboration between Teatru Malta(under the care of the National Agency for the Performing Arts), Teatru Manoel and Spazju Kreattiv with the backing of Arts Council Malta to ensure a bright future for new work in Maltese.
