For the Cartagena de Indias International Film Festival – FICCI, the new talents of the film industry are a central focus of interest.
From this perspective, FICCI 64, with the support of Ibermedia, opens the call for La Residencia FICCI as a program of screenwriting aimed at directors and/or screenwriters from Ibero-America and Italy who have verified experience in short films and are developing their first or second feature-length fiction film.
The objective of La Residencia FICCI is to support participants in the initial phase of writing their feature-length screenplays in order to consolidate their artistic and conceptual proposals. In order to nourish the development stage of the projects, participants will also receive complementary inputs during LA RESIDENCIA FICCI on topics such as audience analysis, financing, marketing possibilities, distribution and circulation of the films, as well as other related topics.
FICCI invites the participation of emerging talents who are immersed in the deep exploration of cinema as an art, whose interest consists in reaching art to its contours, imagining new (or antique) ways and routes of relating to the world. Therefore, FICCI is interested in the multiplicity of ways of understanding and imagining filmmaking.

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.
