Casa do Xisto is an artistic residence dedicated to the dialogue between cinema and the other visual arts, a free expression laboratory that crosses artistic languages, privileging the preservation of cinematographic arts and promoting social inclusion through artistic practice. The 16mm Immersive Laboratory will give ten participants the opportunity to learn about traditional 16mm filming techniques, reversible in color and black and white, ecological and sustainable alternatives for development, such as caffenol and plants such as mint, fennel and thyme, which can be found in the "film garden" of Casa do Xisto. Taking advantage of the stay in the rural context of Casa do Xisto, located in the village of Macieira de Rates, Barcelos, from the 7th to the 12th of July,  the participants collaborate in a creative and immersive process.
