Work In Progress (WIP) Colombia / Feature Film - FICCI
The Oxbelly Retreat 2026 is an international creative development program taking place from July 1 to July 9, 2026 in Greece (Costa Navarino, Messinia). Applications open on December 2, 2025 and close on January 14, 2026. It welcomes applicants from around the world and does not restrict participation by nationality.
Oxbelly is not a traditional competition but an immersive retreat/workshop focused on writing. It accepts projects in development rather than finished works, specifically targeting feature film screenplays and fiction writing (novels, short stories, or other narrative forms). It is not structured around pitches, markets, or completed projects, but rather around creative and professional growth. This program is ideal for screenwriters and fiction writers seeking dedicated time, feedback, and a supportive international community to advance their narrative projects.
