CASA CINE FILM RESIDENCY
The call for CASA CINE Film and Music Writing Residency is currently open.

La Napoule Art Foundation’s guiding principle is to encourage artists to engage in cultural interchange and the creation of art that impacts the world for the common good. LNAF welcomes those engaged in a wide spectrum of artistic practice and varied backgrounds.

To enrich the artist’s experience for the residency, it is expected that each artist will use every available opportunity, including mealtimes, to build community and friendship, and to exchange ideas and experiences.

• Work and living space must be properly maintained and left in the same condition in which it was found.
• It is expected that each participant will conduct themself with a high level of professionalism while in residence.
• All equipment and materials are the responsibility of the artist.
• The use of illegal drugs or the possession of such drugs on the premises is prohibited.
• There is a fee for any overnight guests, based on availability. Prior approval is required.

LNAF residencies are open to all emerging and established artists over the age of 18 with no limitation on artistic discipline or nationality (Canadian Artist Residencies limited to Canadian citizens and permanent residents only). Participants are expected to be able to communicate effectively in English or French.

Please note:

• Artists may apply once every calendar year.
• Although alumni are encouraged to apply, priority may be given to artists who have not yet received an LNAF Residency.
• Due to the historic nature of our facilities, we regret that the Château and Villa are not handicapped accessible at the present time.
• Couples must apply separately. There are no provisions for family, friends, children, or pets at the Château.

Applications are reviewed by an international panel according to the following criteria:

• Clarity of artistic vision as articulated in the artist statement and work samples
• Persuasive evidence that the applicant is committed in purpose and practice
• Clear evidence that the artist works at a professional level in his/her/their field
• Indications that the applicant is moving forward with a project; and of the significance and critical role that the residency at La Napoule will play in that project
• Willingness to work in a dynamic environment that encourages interaction with other artists
• Appropriate adherence to application guidelines
