21 International Film Schools Festival – Uruguay

2 Folders

The festival’s 2021 selection includes 62 fiction, non-fiction, and animation short films, made by students from 58 film schools from 36 countries, including Uruguay. For the third consecutive year, gender parity is absolute: there are 33 men and 33 women among the filmmakers. This has been a record year for the submission process, through the FilmFreeway platform, with almost 2,200 short films from 104 countries. The pre-selection of short films in competition has been carried out by a team of 18 students and teachers of ECU, contemplating the diversity of styles, points of views, concerns and production models developed in the main film schools of the world.

Please find attached more information about this year's edition, the official selection, juries, awards and parallel activities. On Saturday 21 we will hosting the 2nd International Film Students Meeting online, a space for dialogue in which film students from Uruguay can exchange experiences with their peers from the rest of the world.
