As we step into the new year, we look back with gratitude at what 2024 brought for HerArts. Last year we saw two new vibrant cohorts of talented writers come together in Paestum, expanding our community to underrepresented voices from new countries such as Georgia and Ukraine, and the first participant from our native region of Campania! We received support from the Campania Film Commission and got official patronage from Eurimages - an important backing that strengthens our belief in our initiative.

We’re thrilled to announce the selection of participants of the 6th edition of HerArts Film Lab! Eleven brilliant female writers and directors from across Europe and North America will take part in the Fall 2024 edition of the Lab which will take place from October 28 to November 3, 2024, in Paestum, in the southern Italian region of Campania. The filmmakers will work on developing their feature film and TV series projects with the guidance of two fantastic mentors from Ireland: Mary Kate O’Flanagan and Rachel O’Flanagan.
