CASA PIP - Free Filmmakers' Residency

Associated Residency Program

CASA PIP is a selective residency open to people who work within all fields of filmmaking. Our residents are selected by a jury of film professionals, and selected residents are given a free stay for up to one month in a house in the mountains of central Portugal. Founded by and designed for filmmakers, CASA PIP offers residents 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. 

Each resident is given a free stay at CASA PIP for a period of up to one month. It is a two-bedroom house, so they are able to bring partners, children and/or pets, up to a maximum occupancy of 4 people. Residencies do not overlap with one another.

The application fee is 35 Euros.
