This is a contest designed for works that narrate stories that occurred or were imagined during the various phases of the pandemic, “the stories and paradigm changes raised are not only a reflection of the present, but will be important guidelines for understanding and face the future ”, as reported in the official call.

The photography was in charge of Rodolfo Ramírez (Fito) and Anabel Ramírez in the production, Ochoa explained.
La Loma, Ochoa explained, is an audiovisual production company that arises from the new provisions that promote the formation of independent creative teams and aims to develop that edge in Holguín with an aesthetic attached to the foundations of cinema.
