#about


​Summer Scriptwriting Base is a unique combination of educational forum, creative experience, and rural retreat. It takes place in the beautiful and authentic village of Bozhentsi, in Bulgaria’s mountains.

SSB is ten days of intensive learning, creating, sharing, and experiencing. You will get a deep understanding and know-how on such exciting and cutting-edge topics as immersive experiences, real life game design, site-specific and immersive theatre, interactive narratives, urban games, and pervasive games led by an international team of established professionals.

​It is destined to creative minds, theatre and cinema-makers, game designers, creative writers, choreographers, hackers. In order to have the best possible experience, the number of participants is limited to twenty.
​

​THIS YEAR’S THEME

SHANGRI-LA

​Shangri-La is a fictional place described in the novel “Lost Horizon” by James Hilton. It became synonymous of an earthly paradise hidden in a mountain and isolated from the rest of the world. The 2019 edition of the Summer Scriptwriting Base will transform the village of Bozhentsi into Shangri-La. The SSB participants will explore their childhood dreams and fantasies and will merge them with the settings of Bozhentsi and its history.

"And then, in the midst of the still-encompassing

dream, he felt himself master of Shangri-La. These

were his beloved things, all around him, the things

of that inner mind in which he lived increasingly,

away from the fret of the world. “

​
― James Hilton, Lost Horizon
