RULES OF THE GAME
-All participants must go through a selection process that involves filling out a form and an interview with our team.
-Selected participants must arrive in Amantea on the 10th of September between 09:00 and 18:00.
-All shorts must have at least one outdoors shot in Amantea.
-The film must be shot in the town of Amantea.
-The maximum length of the film is 10 minutes. You are totally free to continue working on the personal project, after the Residency.
-All finished films must be handed in by 16:00 on the 21st with English and Italian subtitles.
-The apartments are available for the nights from the 10th to the 21st of September 2023 (included). You need to leave your room before 11 am on the 22nd.
-If you break it, you pay it. As in real life, you are responsible for your own actions.
-Office hours are sacred. Our team has the right to rest.
-Do your recycling. Take out the garbage bins every night.
-La Guarimba is a community of adults, not a summer camp. If you have a problem with somebody, talk to them. If you can’t solve the problem, come to us.
-Don’t commit to a project before you have arrived in Amantea. The script might sound amazing and the person too but wait until you meet everybody and get inspired by Calabria!
-Do not monopolize the equipment nor the organizational team. We are here to help and will try our best to satisfy your film needs, but we are not your production assistants. Remember: locals want to help you as well. Invest more time in building relationships, than demanding.
-Adapt and learn, don’t modify and impose. This is a growing experience. Amantea has a lot to offer to your personal trip. Don’t focus on what makes you uncomfortable about the locals but try to see what you can learn from them and their way of life.
