FEMCINE - Work in Progress
Cine Pendiente 2025 launches the “Corto y Claro” call for short film projects, aimed at directors, screenwriters, and producers. Four projects will be selected to participate in group feedback sessions and comprehensive training activities. The goal is to strengthen projects through personalized guidance and to prepare production and distribution strategies based on each project’s development stage.
Activities will take place in person and require the active participation of at least the main creator of each project. It is important to note that Cine Pendiente does not cover travel, accommodation, or material preparation expenses, which must be borne by the participants.
This call offers a valuable opportunity to enhance the development and visibility of short films in progress, through professional and collaborative support in a learning environment.
