Sección Western - Certamen De Cine Corto De Salas De Los Infantes ()

映画祭の開始: 12 4月 2024      映画祭の終了: 14 4月 2024

The Asociación Cultural sad Hill convene, within the Certamen de cine corto de Salas de los Infantes (Burgos), the contest of short films SECTION WESTERN (VII Edition- 2024).

The SECCIÓN WESTERN continues to be a parallel section of the Certamen de cine corto de Salas de los Infantes, although the screenings of the selected short films and the Awards Gala will take place outside the official dates of the Certamen de cine corto de Salas de los Infantes.

This decision has been made with the intention of being able to dedicate the time, which due to the characteristics of the genre it addresses, we believe is necessary for the exhibition of the participating projects.

The idea of this section is to pay homage to the western in general and to present a genre that continues to live today.

現金賞: 250€

- Best Western Short Film Award (250 euros + trophy) for that work that meets the characteristics with which the American Film Institute defined the western: “a genre of films set in the American West (19th century and early 20th century) that embody the spirit, struggle and fall of the new frontier. Brimming with subtext and mythology, it offers iconic images of a time past, and possibly a time that never happened.”

- Forastero Award (250 euros + trophy) for that work that, without being exactly what the American Film Institute defined as a western, travels in a novel and/or disruptive way, reinventing its codes.
