’El Meteorito’

Molina de Segura, Spain


In the early hours of December 24, 1858, a meteorite, the largest recorded to date in Spain, fell in Molina de Segura, a historic, industrial and entrepreneurial town in the Autonomous Community of the Region of Murcia.

This unexpected and lucky collision has become over time one of the hallmarks of the municipality. Giving rise to an amazing legend that still endures. It is believed that the crater left by the meteorite emits a happy, fertile and inextinguishable radiation that explains the disproportionate appearance of artists of all kinds and conditions that today exhibit a relationship, however light it may be, with the locality. Taking this mythological motif as a pretext, 164 years later, “El Meteorito” was born, at the Molina de Segura Short Film Festival. An initiative of the Department of Culture of the Molina de Segura City Council that will form part of the 4th SEMANA MOLINA ES CINE and that its continuity is guaranteed.

Its ultimate purpose is to select six short films that share the same nature as the meteorite, namely: short stories with an indelible impact on the viewer. But first, it intends to become an obligatory and recurring reference for national short films and arouse the interest and price of a public that is not specialized in this cinematographic modality.

In its final section only the six selected short films will participate, which will be endorsed by the physical presence of their own creators.

The theme of the festival, whatever the genre and format of the works that attend the Festival, must be of an eminently social nature.

GUIDELINES

Vórtice - Film Festival is a cinematic gathering that has taken place in Bogotá and Barrancabermeja since 2023. After two showcases held since that year, the festival will officially host its first full edition in both cities in 2025.

This project is guided by a curatorial vision focused on showcasing cinema from the Global South—without limitations on genre, but with a particular interest in documentary film, archival cinema, experimental film, and docufiction. These forms (and explorations), we believe, are where the most relevant debates and discussions of contemporary cinema are taking place. Our interest is primarily centered on discovering new paths and cinematic inquiries. Our principle is anthropophagic and cannibalistic: to consume, digest, exhibit, reflect on, and engage in dialogue around the cinema that emerges from our territories.

The festival will hold its first official edition from November 7 to 17, in Bogotá, at the Cinemateca de Bogotá and other alternative venues in the capital; and in Barrancabermeja, through the city’s network of independent cinemas.

We invite filmmakers, audiovisual creators, and music video directors from Colombia, Santander, Barrancabermeja, and the Global South to submit their short films and music videos to our 2025 edition.
