The event
CASA CINE is an international screenwriting and music composition residency for cinema organized by SERENA Productions and La Napoule Art Foundation. The residency takes place for three weeks every year at the Château de la Napoule (Côte d’Azur, France), in parallel with Festival de Cannes. It aims to accompany authors as they move on to feature films, to introduce them into professional networks and to encourage international co-productions.
Aimed at author-directors and screenwriters, as well as film score composers, this writing residency is open to film professionals of all ages and nationalities. Projects must be a first or second feature film for cinema in all genres: fiction, documentary and animation.
Following the call for applications, the projects of four authors and two film score composers are selected by a jury of film professionals.
