[THURSDAY NOVEMBER 12TH - 05:00 p.m. at Teatro Salón Cervantes]
Órbita [Creation Lab]
In partnership with ECAM (Escuela de Cine de la Comunidad de Madrid)
ÓRBITA [Creation Lab] is not just a film workshop. It’s a cinematic immersion in which participants move from theory to practice, gaining the tools to create a set of short pieces that will later come together as a collective film to be screened at the festival. During this short but intense journey, we’ll learn to watch films with a critical eye, debate what kind of film we want to make, and share techniques and methods for effective shooting. The goal? To create a film that represents us and our city, and that becomes part of the history of the ALCINE Festival. In doing so, we aim to nurture a new generation of potential filmmakers who can relate to images —both those they receive from the internet and those they send out into the world— in a healthy, constructive, and critical way.
At ALCINE 55, this process will be guided by David Castro. A director and producer with a degree in Education, he specialises in stop-motion animation and audiovisual literacy. His animated and live-action short films, for which he has worked as both screenwriter and director, have competed at festivals such as Sitges and SEMINCI. As an executive producer, he has also received three Goya Award nominations.
