COCONAT FILM RESIDENCY

The COCONAT FILM RESIDENCY is supported by the Medienboard Berlin-Brandenburg.

APPLICATION FORM – Applications open now till midnight 3 April 2021

Coconat is a place away from the distraction of daily life that can interfere with the part of the creative process, which requires concentration.

The community of people who find themselves at Coconat is very diverse, for a filmmaker this can be an exceptional bonus. People with a variety of backgrounds are breeding grounds for serendipitous moments, the classic creative ‘aha’ moments where ideas that have been swimming finally find their feet; boaden perspectives from potential audiences.

Coconat’s film residency offers filmmakers and/or screenwriters place for inspired concentrated work. We imagine:
– pre-production
– research
– writing a script, screenplay, or treatment
– editing, we offer a modest video-editing suite, with daVinci and Adobe Premiere available.

Target residency recipient:

This program is open to mid to senior level filmmakers working on feature or long-form storytelling through documentary, narrative, experimental, or new genres of film. Applicants should have an established production and screening record, have completed some formal training in film, or equivalent experience and recognition from their peers.

Coconat wishes to host a diverse set of filmmakers, international/local, female/male identifying, generally we more than welcome a broad set of artists representing manifold communities.
