Professional audiovisual meeting in Cantabria
The Buñuel Institute (SGAE) and the Comillas Foundation promote this meeting, which, with the title of “First Feature”, brings together prominent professionals from May 25 to 27 in Comillas to discuss the circumstances of new audiovisual authors.
The Buñuel Institute (of the General Society of Authors and Editors) and the Comillas Foundation are promoting, starting today and until Friday the 27th, a new professional meeting of audiovisual creators at the International Center for Higher Studies of Spanish (Comillas, Cantabria). María Teresa Noceda (mayor of Comillas), Manuel Gutiérrez Aragón (president of the Buñuel Institute), Carlos Cuadros (director of the ICAA, Ministry of Culture) and Ignacio Gavira (director of the Comillas Foundation) inaugurate this Wednesday, May 25 (6:00 p.m.), a sectoral call that, under the title of First Feature: The integration of new authors in the film industry, will bring together a good number of young and talented, with one or two feature films released in Spanish theaters, to discuss their circumstances.
With the delicate situation of the cultural and audiovisual industry in Europe, new directors and scriptwriters generally work on tight budgets, looking for alternative forms of financing, while the traditional channels of distribution and exhibition of their works do not respond to their pace of creation. On the other hand, television and the Internet are windows to the public that do not always materialize. The debate at the Comillas meeting will focus on this scenario.
El encuentro Ópera prima: La integración de los nuevos autores en la industria del cine propone diversas conferencias y mesas redondas conducidas por prestigiosos profesionales del sector. Así, tomarán la palabra Enrique González Macho (presidente de la Academia de Cine), Paolo Vasile (consejero delegado de Mediaset en España), Gerardo Herrero (presidente de Tornasol Films), Juan Gordon (productor de Morena Films), Eva Cebrián (directora del área de Cine en TVE), Bertha Navarro (productora y coordinadora del Laboratorio para Guionistas de Latinoamérica), Eduardo Prádanos (director de Comunicación de Play Televisión) y Rafael Linares (profesor de Comunicación Audiovisual de la Universidad Rey Juan Carlos). Entre los participantes, cineastas reconocidos de nueva generación, como Eduardo Chapero-Jackson, Tina Olivares, Alfonso Zarauza, Max Lemcke, Amancay Tapia o el binomio Álvaro Pastor-Antonio Naharro, entre otros muchos llegados de toda España.
Unos y otros abordarán y debatirán sobre cuestiones relativas a los métodos de producción, financiación, vínculos con la televisión, promoción y publicidad, presencia en festivales, y distribución en el escenario actual (de las salas a internet). Tras la inauguración de mañana, las jornadas se extenderán hasta el viernes 27.
