WHY THIS AWARD PRIZE NACIONAL DE CORTOMETRAJES "JAIME OSORIO GÓMEZ"
Community of Viterbo Caldas, has not been sufficiently fair or not had taken seriously the importance that has for a municipality that one of their children has such an impact in a trade, or art, and even more so at levels that managed it to do the Mr JAIME OSORIO GÓMEZ, who was born in ViterboCaldas, on March 7, 1947 and studied law at the Autonomous University of Colombia.
In the 1970 began to conduct business and to court political documentaries, such as Chile does not surrender, hell. He was a professor at the National University of Colombia and the school of cinema and Television of San Antonio de los Baños in Cuba, in addition to representing the Colombian producers in the Board of Directors of Proimágenes in motion. He directed the medium-length films all rights reserved, ceremony of the Benkuna and life or death, where are already insinuating clearly the characters of confession to Laura. In the 1980 was the producer of tropical snow, the Emberá and my Macondo and was Assistant Director and production of two films by Lisandro Duque: Visa USA and miracle in Rome. In 1990 he participated in the lab of the Sundance Institute directed by Robert Redford with the confession project scripts to Laura, which a year later became his debut film. In 1991 he was general producer of Nazca, series television Española, shot in 21 countries of Latin America, in addition to production of the film l'enfant du Bont du Monde for French television. But would miss more things: was the co-producer of the Virgin of assassins, Barbet Schroeder; Producer and actor of Maria full of grace of Joshua Marston and also produced La Sombra del caminante of Ciro Guerra. At the time of his death he was working on multiple film projects in various stages of production, such as Satan, directed by Andi Baiz; Child's play, directed by Carlos César Arbelaez; The taxidermist, directed by Luis Alberto Restrepo; the project colors of the mountain, also of Carlos César Arbelaez, and the feature film time of the Lions, written by himself and Jaime Escallón Buraglia. "Those who had the pleasure to shake his hand, understand the size of the huge loss that took the Colombian cinema with his departure" one of the people who have contributed most to our film to reach the upper echelons; for all the above we got in the task of creating the "Prix national of short films JAIME OSORIO GÓMEZ". Posthumous and well-deserved tribute to the mentioned in question.

Puglia, sul da Itália.
Em 1945, o exército americano desembarcou no sul da Itália para a campanha de “libertação” e de repente passou por Molfetta, nossa cidade-base. Durante sua estada, os aliados relataram que alguns bairros estavam “FORA DOS LIMITES” devido ao “perigo social” das pessoas que moravam lá. Nas duas primeiras edições, 2013 e 2014, nosso festival aconteceu em duas praças, a Piazza San Michele e a Piazza delle Erbe, perto das áreas ainda consideradas por muitos como “fora dos limites”, em Molfetta.
O evento cinematográfico “Out Of Bounds” é dirigido por cineastas e se concentra em capacitar os melhores artistas independentes e incentivar todos os aspectos da produção cinematográfica independente. Buscamos o não convencional, o incomum, o subterrâneo, o intuitivo, o inovador e o verdadeiro.
As edições subsequentes ocorreram no claustro da igreja de San Domenico, na área portuária da cidade e na antiga arena do castelo de Barletta, um lugar medieval evocativo e histórico e na Cidadela dos Artistas de Molfetta.
As seções especiais escolhidas para esta edição são “Curtas-metragens distópicos”, curtas-metragens que tratam de temas relacionados à poluição, guerra e exploração de recursos, incluindo cenários distópicos, e “Curtas-metragens sobre igualdade de gênero, mesmo aqueles dirigidos por um diretor masculino” (INTERNACIONAL E NACIONAL).
Não há taxa de inscrição para curtas-metragens do Irã, Palestina, Ucrânia, Venezuela, Sudão, Iêmen ou de um Estado em situação política crítica.
