The first International Artistic Residencies for Filmmaking – BAICC were launched in 2017, promoted by the (S8) International Peripheral Film Festival or Mostra of A Coruña. This involves a selection process in order to take part in a residency to produce an audiovisual work to be shot in analogue format (35 mm, 16 mm, 8 mm or Super 8) in Toronto, Canada.  It is a project that was highly sought after by (S8) and which materialized thanks to backing from Acción Cultural Española (AC/E) and the Liaison of Independent Filmmakers of Toronto (LIFT), reaffirming the festival’s strong commitment to artistic production and creation in alternative spaces. The products of the residency are premiered in (S8), giving the creators an opportunity to present their work to the festival’s international audience and interact with them.  

This year’s (S8) will premiere the film (S8) TORTUGA [pasaje cromático #4] (TURTLE [chromatic passage]) by Brenda Boyer, who was awarded a BAICC residency in the call for 2024.
