LIVING THE PROCESS
Duemila30 Lab is a transformative 10-day film residency held in Cassine, Italy, bringing together a small group of 10 filmmakers from the Duemila30 community to live, work, and create side by side.
Rather than focusing on individual output or technical perfection, the Lab is designed as an immersive process where storytelling becomes a shared practice, rooted in listening, exchange, and collective experimentation. Throughout the residency, participants engage in workshops, co-creation sessions, and daily moments of reflection, exploring how films can emerge from relationships rather than from isolated authorship.
A LIVING COMMUNITY
At the heart of Duemila30 Lab is the belief that learning how to work together is more important than making “good” films. The residency unfolds in close dialogue with the local community of Cassine, whose spaces, stories, and presence become an integral part of the experience. Filmmakers are invited to engage with the territory and its people, creating connections that blur the boundaries between participants and hosts. In this context, the Lab becomes not only a space of artistic production, but a living ecosystem of collaboration, where creativity is shaped through encounter, care, and shared responsibility.
