Kino Guarimba – Residencia Internacional de Cine

Kino Guarimba is a twelve‑day international film residency hosted by Associazione Culturale CinemAmbulante in the town of Amantea, Calabria, Italy. Each edition brings together up to 50 participants – directors, cinematographers, technicians, actors and writers – who form crews, shoot short films (max 6 minutes) on location, and receive mentorship in sound, editing and distribution. The program provides 12 nights of accommodation in shared apartments (with private room options), a welcome kit, three masterclasses, continuous tutor support, use of equipment, a public screening, and networking events. Participation is open to people of any nationality who are over 18, with no prior experience required. Applications are submitted via an online form by 20 February 2027, after which selected participants are notified and must pay a participation fee (covering roughly 30 % of the total cost). Travel expenses are not covered. The residency runs from 10 June to 21 June 2027 (15th edition) and again from 10 September to 21 September 2027 (16th edition).
