The third edition of the AFTER program, organized by ECAM Industria in Spain, is aimed at short film projects in development, providing support for emerging creators in their creative and production processes. Applications are open from December 12, 2025, to January 12, 2026, at 3:00 PM.
The program will take place over approximately one week in the first quarter of 2026, likely between late January and March. It is aimed at ECAM alumni and residents of the Madrid region, so international submissions outside this scope are not accepted.
AFTER accepts projects of any genre, including fiction, documentary, or animation, and focuses on script development, production, legal and financial guidance, as well as personalized mentorship. Participants will have the opportunity to showcase their projects at film forums and markets to enhance visibility and funding opportunities.
The required project format is exclusively short film, and selected participants will receive professional support to strengthen their projects comprehensively.

ECAM After
The Quiet Collective ofrece retiros y residencias creativas abiertas todo el año, centradas en el desarrollo de proyectos de ficción y narrativa. Los programas permiten a los participantes trabajar en sus historias, guiones y creatividad personal en un entorno inmersivo y colaborativo. Las experiencias se realizan principalmente en Calabria, Italia, y aceptan participantes de cualquier nacionalidad.
Entre las sesiones programadas para 2026 destacan: Embodying the Character del 3 al 10 de mayo; From Script to Pitch del 24 al 31 de mayo y del 13 al 20 de septiembre; y The Creative Path del 28 de septiembre al 4 de octubre. Estos retiros no funcionan como concursos ni incluyen jurados o premios; su objetivo es ofrecer un espacio de exploración, aprendizaje y desarrollo creativo en ficción.
Los participantes trabajan individualmente en sus proyectos, aprovechando talleres, mentorías y dinámicas de grupo. La inscripción es flexible, lo que permite integrarse en cualquier periodo disponible, fomentando un flujo constante de creatividad y networking entre escritores, guionistas y artistas interesados en la narrativa y la ficción.
