CASA PIP open call

CASA PIP in Portugal offers filmmakers peace and space to work independently in any capacity they require.

Founded by filmmakers and designed for filmmakers, CASA PIP is a residency in a remote village nestled within the Portuguese mountains. CASA PIP offers filmmakers peace and space to work independently in any capacity they require, giving residents sole access to the entire house for work periods of up to a month. CASA PIP is an unstructured, no-rules residency. Residents may use the space to write, research, edit, experiment, play, think, or rest, depending on their specific creative needs.

Residents will be given full, free access to the house for a period of up to one full month to use as they please. There is no curriculum or structure outside of what residents choose for themselves. Residents may come alone, and they may also bring their collaborators, their family, or their friends. Residents are encouraged to use their time in whatever particular way suits them, and we hope that the surrounding area, and the comfort of the house, can provide needed quiet time for research, writing, experimentation, reflection, and play.
 

The application
Eligible applicants include directors, writers, actors, editors, cinematographers, sound designers, composers, and anyone else involved in the making of films. Applications should include a brief description of your proposed activities, a brief biography, and an optional link to a sample of your work. There is an application fee of €35 – this allows them to create, maintain, and operate this residency, to cover administrative and processing fees, to pay jurors, and to offer the residency free of charge.

The house
Located in a small village in the Serra do Açor mountain range in Central Portugal, CASA PIP is a modest and peaceful, typical village house. The house has one bedroom, one living room, one dining room, one studio workspace, a fully equipped kitchen, and one bathroom with a shower/bathtub combination. In the basement there is a half bathroom, and a bar\cellar\workshop, and laundry facilities. The house is very quiet. There are bicycles for use, and parking 20 metres from the house. From the windows you look out onto an expanse of green mountains. Please feel free to ask about specific amenities or needs.
 
Deadline: December 15
