🎬 This year, we're welcoming back familiar faces to European Film College!
We are thrilled to announce that Nicole Palo and Mathias Dombrink are returning to EFC - Nicole as our new screenwriting teacher, and Mathias as our editing teacher. 🍿✨
Nicole is a Belgian-American screenwriter and director, and an alumna of European Film College. She wrote and directed the feature films Get Born (2008) and Emma Peeters (2018), which closed Venice's Giornate degli Autori and earned her the Best Director Award at the Monte-Carlo Comedy Film Festival. Her latest feature script, Indigo Monday, has received international recognition, including being named a finalist at Scriptapalooza and selected for the Plume & Pellicule scriptwriting workshop.
Mathias comes from Germany and is a film editor with a background in fine art. He has worked across fiction, documentary, and animation. In 2005, Mathias began teaching at the National Film and Television School in England, where he had previously graduated from the MA Editing programme. In addition to England, Mathias has taught in Germany, Austria, Norway, and Denmark. He regards students as fellow professionals in training, focusing on shared learning and encouraging them to explore, reflect on, articulate, and discuss their own personal and artistic vision.
Returning to EFC is a true homecoming, as both Nicole and Mathias have previously taught at the school.
We're happy to have you back 🙏
