WIP CINELEBU applies only to short films and aims to enhance and assist in their high-quality completion for national and international projection. Eligible short films must be in an advanced editing phase, with the filming already completed and an editing cut that meets the conditions outlined in these guidelines.
Additionally, directors who do not have a production company based in the country may also apply, provided that the short film has been filmed anywhere in Chile.
Through this call, we also aim to foster the cultural development of the country by supporting creative industries and linking cultural investment with other productive activities. The following action lines are highlighted:
Promote the development of national and international short films.
Boost Creative Industries through short films and link them to tourism promotion, which will enhance employment and regional development.
