Festival start: 25 October 2019      Festival end: 27 October 2019

From CINESPACIO we want to focus this edition of the festival on those works that have focused on the migratory conditions and their relationship with audiovisual forms of production. In a world where borders are constantly built and imaginary lines are drawn to violate identities - as well as create them -, it is necessary for the audiovisual sector to think about his role in the modes of implementation and in the themes represented.

We propose to interpret the border as a space where transnational identities are born and get in conflict; a space where new networks and emotional communities are generated and are in perpetual movement; a space where they face the challenges of individual recognition and community belonging. If the border is what delimits who we are, crossing borders involves, then, the challenge of being someone else and knowing how to be someone else through rapprochement and touch, bearing in mind that the content at the borders, being touched by the external, will not be the same again.

On this edition, CINESPACIO decided to assume himself as a 'non-competitive' festival. We are a university film festival that works from the self-management of our own activities, so we can't offer to our potential winners any kind of remuneration. However, we also see this as an opportunity to create new dynamics and ways to make film festivals, considering the formation of audiences and the promotion of love for this art as the main thing.

On the other hand, for the category 'Best Written Essay' the text chosen by the jury will be published in a film critics magazine of national scope. Soon we will be announcing on our website and official networks what is the choosen one,

V INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL - CINESPACIO
