The 14th International Film Students Meeting, co-organized by the 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.
The Meeting has the backing of San Sebastian European Capital of Culture 2016 given that it is an obvious exponent of the scenarios and forms of work that this initiative wishes to promote.
Youngsters can show their short films, attend meetings with professionals, workshops and the master class.
The selected short films will be screened at showings open to the general public and Festival guests as well as by professionals from the audiovisual industry who can chat to the students presenting their works. Jointly they will watch and comment on the films generating an interesting discussion about film theory and practice. They will also have the opportunity to get to know and experience how the film industry works firsthand.
Each candidate school can present three short films all of them produced during the 2013/2014 or the 2014/2015 school years. Around 14 schools will be chosen to take part in the Meeting with screening of the works chosen from the three presented for selection.
A specific jury, consisting of students from the participating school and chaired by a personality from the world of film will choose the winner of the Panavision Award, the Freak Agency / Feelsales Award and the BioBioCine – Duoc UC Award going to the director of the winning short.
This same Jury will also choose the three directors who will have the opportunity to participate with their short films in the next Cannes Festival Short Film Corner.
A specific jury, consisting of students from Basque schools, coordinated by a professor from the Mondragon University and chaired by the Orona Fundazioa's Developing Director, will grant the Orona Award to the most cutting-edge film. The award will be given to the short film’s director.
Last but not least, a representative of the TorinoFilmLab will award one of the directors with the Torino Award.
