FESTIVAL DE CORTOS PARA TIEMPOS LARGOS ()

Festival start: 19 October 2022      Festival end: 22 October 2022

The Festival of Short Films for Long Times is a commitment that was born in 2020 in the midst of the global health crisis due to Covid-19, where the main measure was mandatory isolation, which produced endless artistic manifestations from the homes, turning the place we inhabit into a scene of cultural and artistic expressions that were a reason for hope, union and fraternity with people from all over the world.

In this way, the festival was a space to share all the talents and expressions from the audiovisual, as well as becoming a space for learning through workshops, talks and conferences held during the month of June of that year.

For the year 2022, the Festival de Cortos para Tiempos Largos re-emerges as a space that seeks to unite and transform the different ones that we inhabit, adapting them to new audiovisual challenges that reinterpret the ways of looking and looking at each other, allowing our production not to be limited to a physical space, but transcends from innovation and creativity.

This space is thought of as an opportunity for the dissemination and visibility of narrative content. The festival has academic and non-profit purposes, for which recognition will be given to those selected but no prizes will be awarded.
