Wscripted Unveils 2024 Vanessa Kirby-Curated Cannes Screenplay List Supporting Women & Non-Binary Writers

Wscripted has unveiled the projects and talents selected for its fourth Cannes Screenplay List supporting scripts by women and non-binary writers.

This year’s list, which is presented in collaboration with long-standing partner Mubi, was curated by an international jury featuring Bafta-winning and Oscar-nominated actress Vanessa Kirby (The Crown, Pieces of a Woman), Costa Rican-Swedish director Nathalie Álvarez Mesén (Clara Sola) and writer and filmmaker Nathalie Marchak (Out of Instinct, @Catcall).

Marchak was a nominee on the inaugural Cannes Screenplay List of 2021 with her second feature A Beautiful Journey, which is produced by Anonymous Federation and Gabman Films.

The 2024 list features 10 female filmmakers and screenwriters looking for producing and financing partners from the U.S., Canada, Australia and India.
