Doc Amazon Caribbean 2025
Film writing residency – documentary
This residency is aimed at authors/directors from Guyana, Martinique and Guadeloupe developing creative documentary film projects for television or cinema, and wishing to benefit from support to strengthen their projects. It is not necessary to have a producer already engaged.
It will take place online from July and then in Saint-Laurent du Maroni from September 28 to October 10, 2025..
This residency allows authors to question their projects to lay the foundations of a structured story. The work is organized around group and individual sessions with the speakers, viewings of reference films, writing exercises. The speakers are seasoned trainers with real teaching experience.
The objective of the residency is to produce a strengthened version of the project presentation file (note of intent, summary, synopsis and treatment) in order to then participate in the co-production meetings that will take place within the framework of the FIFAC (International Documentary Film Festival Amazonia Caraïbe), from October 7 to 11, 2025.
