Within the framework of the Film Residency, an Ibero-American Film Week will be held at the Guadalupe Cultural and Congress Center where films by the professionals who will participate in the Residency will be shown to create a “close relationship” between Guadalupe and the residents. as well as a visit to the UNESCO Villuercas Geopark, Ibores Jara.
The Extremadura Film Residency is an initiative that seeks to generate alliances and connect cultures to encourage experimentation, research and creation of stories linked to the territory, with the potential to become fiction, animated or documentary films.

In addition, various specialized advisors will help strengthen the projects in different aspects of film production.
The ultimate goal is to prepare the projects for the ‘final pitch’ before a jury, with the possibility of obtaining awards that include participation in a “prestigious international film festival” and a “relevant international market.”
Likewise, each day of the Film Residency will open with a masterclass that will address advanced topics in scriptwriting, documentary, animation, international audiovisual industry, audiences, marketing and distribution.
