OUR PLACE IS OUTER SPACE
The Artistic Board were charmed by the uplifting tone of this script and especially the way it manages to convey a sense of magic in such a convincingly authentic way. The hope and friendship that emerges between the two main characters, both outsiders living in a grim environment, presents a thoughtful and inspiring depiction of childhood dreams that is written with great sensitivity. The Krzysztof Kieslowski ScripTeast Award 2022 goes to OUR PLACE IS OUTER SPACE by Daniel Daoud and Simon Szabo, from Hungary.

“ScripTeast is the programme all the advisors wish they could have attended at the start of their careers. It would have saved all that stumbling around in the dark looking for the key that stimulates the imagination so much more effectively.”

“ScripTeast is a fascinating mix of cultures, political ideas, and voices. I learned a lot, and I think the participants learned a lot more. If only they served vodka!”
