The Migros Culture Percentage Story Lab is the main program partner of the «Im Atelier» section of the 57th Solothurn Film Festival. The «Im Atelier» section, launched in 2021, focuses on the filmmaking process: during the festival week, the Solothurn Film Festival offers various workshops on the filmmaking process, master classes and match-making events for filmmakers.

Impressions from Solothurn, kick-off event «Im Atelier» on January 21, 2022, Kino im Uferbau, Solothurn

Do audiovisual projects have the power to trigger change in our society? Yes! – We believe in this basic idea and have therefore set our event focus this year on impact: director Barbara Miller has taken up an important topic with her internationally successful film #FEMALE PLEASURE (2018) and made the oppression of female sexuality and the existing patriarchal structures around the globe an issue with an impressive campaign. She gave us an exciting insight into her way of working.

Other program points

Monday, January 24 and Tuesday, January 25, 2022, online: workshops for funded projects in the Story Lab.

For Story Lab participants, we exclusively offered a multi-day workshop on impact producing with Khadidja Benouataf and Vivian Schröder. This is an introductory workshop for women producers/directors/writing teams who will receive customized coaching for their Story Lab project and benefit from a toolkit. The result of the workshop is the draft of an impact strategy (impact plan) for the participating projects.

Story lab participants had the opportunity to take part in one of the two workshops or to sign up for a one-on-one (for individual feedback on the submitted project on the topic of impact producing). Language: German/French/English.
