The Provincial Culture Center in Holguín and the Department of Audiovisual Creation summon to the contest "My movie on the cell phone", which will be open to all those interested in telling a good story from their mobile device.
Alejandra Rodríguez Segura, organizer of the event, said to the local newspaper ¡ahora! that the idea of the contest arose during her stay in Venezuela as part of the Cultura Corazón Adentro mission, a project with significant results in the South American nation, which is being implemented for the first time in the eastern territory.
She explained that the event is opened to the people of Holguín, without age or profession limits, who will meet the requirement of exclusive filming with the mobile device, in sequence shot, without cuts and with an approximate duration of about three minutes.
In times of social isolation, the main purpose of "My movie on the cell phone" is to give children, young people and the elderly an opportunity to show their creativity, taking advantage not only of the popular Cuban imagination, but also the usefulness of the technology, Rodríguez added.
She pointed out that social networks and digital platforms will allow participants to exchange suggestions and advice on how to develop stories, from the audiovisual codes, without this implying establishing limits or straitjackets.
Work will be received in digital or DVD format until September 3, the date on which the jury, made up of young and experienced Cuban audiovisual producers, will begin their work sessions to select the five best stories.
The jury will announce the winners on October 20, as part of the activities to celebrate the Day of Cuban Culture, and will grant collateral awards sponsored by the Hermanos Saiz Association, the Faculty of Audiovisual Media of the University of the Arts in Holguín and Ediciones La Luz publishing house.
The audiovisual contest will also include collateral exhibits of audiovisual projects from friends from all over the world, mainly from Mexico and Uruguay, who will also be sharing their reality in three minutes of film on their cell phones.
