RESIDENCY IN GUANAJUATO: year-round conferences and workshops for film students and professionals imparted by visiting experts
GIFF Residence is an institution that will encompass and host all of GIFF’s year-round educational initiatives, creating a permanent space that welcomes instructors from around the world to mentor talent and encourage the growth of young creators; allowing time for rigorous instruction in both theory and technique. The GIFF Residence represents the educational branch of the non-profit Expresión en Corto Foundation, producers of the annual Guanajuato International Film Festival. Study sessions will be realized in San Miguel de Allende throughout the year, where the participants develop projects in a space designed to stimulate the creation and free exchange of ideas. There will be both spring and fall sessions offered to both Mexican and international filmmakers. There will also be scholarships available for outstanding Mexican students. Backed by 15 years of history, experience, contacts and infrastructure, GIFF RESIDENCE intends to be a pioneer in cinematographic education, and will offer a geographic alternative for cinematic instruction within Mexico.
The following education projects are already being realized: Mexicannes Summer residence Program, 48 Hour Collegiate Production Rally, Collegiate Documentary Contest, National Screenwriting Contest, Vancouver Film School Screenwriting Workshops, Master Classes.
