FICX AND ECAM SEAL COLLABORATION FOR THE SEVENTH CONSECUTIVE YEAR

The Gijón/Xixón International Film Festival and the Escuela de Cinematografía y del Audiovisual de la Comunidad de Madrid (ECAM) renew their collaboration for the seventh consecutive year.

The agreement consists, on the one hand, in the delivery of the Training of Trainers course EL CINE ES UN PLIEGUE, que puedes guardar en tu bolsillo, aimed at teachers, framed during the 62FICX, and organised in collaboration with the CPR of Gijón-Oriente, Centro del Profesorado y de Recursos. The training will be given by Cristina Somavilla, researcher on image production, literature, dramaturgy and experimental writing as cornerstones for the creation of spaces for collective and interdisciplinary understanding, and Manuela Gutiérrez, filmmaker, producer and educator. The training activity will take place on 18, 19 and 20 November, from 16:30 to 19:30, in the Conference Room of the Centro de Cultura Antiguo Instituto Jovellanos (CCAI), and the registration period opens today, Thursday 24 October, through this link.

On the other hand, the agreement includes the collaboration of the ECAM with SEMILLERU, the space for the nurturing and care of film projects organised by Divertia Gijón S.A., which takes place within the framework of the 62nd edition of the FICX. This collaboration consists of the awarding of the Impulso ECAM Prize for one of the projects in the development phase of SEMILLERU Lab. The winner will receive personalised advice based on their specific needs from a professional from the sector linked to the ECAM.
