COLLEGIATE DOCUMENTARY CONTEST IDENTITY AND BELONGING

GIFF, along with the support of the Guanajuato State Government (through EDUCAFIN) and the State Commission for Planning Superior Education (COEPES), organizes this documentary contest with the goal of strengthening the youth’s national identity by giving them a sense of belonging. Each ten minute documentary is produced with the theme of Identity and Belonging, which each team is free to interpret in its own manner; be it through their education, family or social environment. The contest seeks projects that are extremely personal, professional and universal, and that can compete on an international level. The participants have the opportunity to be consulted on their specific projects by noted figures of the film industry on the subjects of theme, plot, structure, production, audio production and post-production, offering them the knowledge and tools necessary to create a professional short documentary which is screened during GIFF.
