- Gramado Film Market is launching its first Residency for Young Filmmakers on August 17–19, with 60 participants aged 18–35 chosen from more than 200 applications
- Eligibility requires applicants to have prior work experience on at least one film, narrowing the competition to filmmakers with hands-on production credits
Why it matters: With 200+ applicants competing for 60 slots and a minimum one-film credit requirement, the program sets a competitive, experience-gated entry point for young Latin American talent into the international festival circuit. For filmmakers aged 18–35, the three-day residency offers direct access to Gramado's industry network that previously had no structured funnel.
