The International Film School Meeting, organised by San Sebastian Festival and Tabakalera (International Contemporary Culture Centre of San Sebastian) proposes an exchange of audiovisual experiences and knowledge at one of the most important movie events in the world. Youngsters can show their short films, attend meetings with professionals and discover some of the latest aspects offered by audiovisual technology.
The selected short films will be screened at showings open to the general public and Festival guests attended by professionals from the audiovisual industry who can chat to the students presenting their work. Their teachers will also have the opportunity to explain the audiovisual teaching methods employed at their centres.
Each candidate school can present three short films. A total of 12 schools will be chosen to participate in the San Sebastian Festival with screening of the works chosen from the three presented for selection.
A special jury consisting of students from the participating schools and chaired by a well-known person from the film world will choose the winner of the aiTe [asociación de industrias técnicas del audiovisual español] Award carries €6,000 in post-production services for the winning director.
