The El Salvador School of Cinema and Audiovisual Arts (ESCINE) is open for submissions for the 4th edition of its Short Film Festival Made with Mobile Phones. The registration period will last until November 28.
The initiative seeks to promote the creation of Salvadoran cinema, with simple principles of participation: record a story with a maximum duration of 15 minutes, in one of five categories: animation, fiction, video art, documentary and video clip. The theme is free for filmmakers.
In addition, the organizers confirmed that the quality achieved in 2022 called them to open another section: the Pro Category, which includes Script and Pro Camera Fiction, for those who have professional cameras and equipment, always on the 15-minute setting.
Additionally, for the second year, the Thirza Ruballo Awards, honoring the late Escine co-founder, will be presented for Best Actor and Best Actress, as well as the technical categories of Director, Photography, Sound, Art, Costumes, Original Score and Makeup. Honorary awards and audience prizes will also be awarded.
Winners in each category will receive cash prizes and scholarships to study at Escine and gifts from sponsors.
“We invite Salvadorans of all ages to present our stories from different angles. All categories have cash prizes and scholarships because our idea as a school, apart from motivating people to publish their short film, is to identify talents that are worth supporting, to train them in the areas where they excel,” said Diego Figueroa, the director. SCINE.
The initiative to have the main categories with mobile phones is aimed at the democratization of cinema. Cinema is usually very elitist and expensive, with a lot of human and technological equipment, but with this initiative we aim to lose that barrier,” Figueroa added.
“The technology gap is helping to bring art and expression closer together and integrate into our need to be able to tell stories,” he noted, also because almost everyone today has a smartphone that can become a work tool. .
Various activities such as talks, workshops and master classes will be held during the festival to encourage creatives.
In this sense, allies Argos Media Group (Mexico) and the Mexican Embassy in El Salvador will make possible in December a master class of Erendida Ibarra, a Mexican film and theater actress whose career includes productions such as “Las Aparicio” (2010), “Sense8″ (2015), ” Ingobernable” (2017) and “Matrix Resurrection” (2021).
The selection of nominated short films will be announced on December 8, and they will be screened in Cinépolis theaters from the 14th to the 20th of the same month.
The award ceremony of the festival will be held on December 21 at the National Theater of San Salvador.
