The Locarno Residency is a program by the Locarno Film Festival supporting emerging filmmakers developing their first feature film. The 2025 call is open until June 3, 2025. The program has two phases: first, an in-person meeting during the festival in August where 10 participants present their projects to a jury, which selects three outstanding projects. The second phase offers one year of personalized mentoring, including online sessions and in-person meetings, with travel and accommodation expenses covered. One selected project will receive the Dopodomani Prize, worth 3,000 CHF. Requirements include being under 40 years old, having short film experience, and presenting a project in English for a first feature to be shot after September 2026. The application fee is 30 CHF. It’s an excellent opportunity for filmmakers seeking professional support and international exposure.

Locarno Residency
Ibermedia promotes the distribution and circulation of non-national films from Ibero-American cinemas within the national territories of distribution companies. This is achieved through proposals that implement traditional, non-traditional, or hybrid distribution and exhibition models, incorporating innovative and creative forms of in-person distribution and/or exhibition. These proposals must also include a promotion and audience plan, aiming to bring Ibero-American cinema closer to regional audiences.

Los cineastas necesitan recursos, oportunidades y acceso para prosperar en un panorama cinematográfico desequilibrado. Por eso, combinamos subvenciones estratégicamente programadas con tutoría creativa y comunidad, creando redes de pares y reuniendo a los artistas para que aprendan y se apoyen mutuamente. Este sistema de apoyo está diseñado para los desafíos únicos que experimentan las mujeres y las personas de género expansivo en sus trayectorias cinematográficas y profesionales. Desde nuestra fundación, Chicken & Egg Films ha otorgado más de 14 millones de dólares en subvenciones y ha dedicado miles de horas de tutoría creativa a más de 500 cineastas de todo el mundo. Las películas apoyadas por nuestro trabajo han sido reconocidas a nivel nacional e internacional con los más altos honores de la industria, incluidos los Premios de la Academia, los Premios Emmy y los Premios Peabody. Y han aumentado la visibilidad e impulsado el cambio social en cuestiones urgentes.
