The deadline to register as a volunteer or as a popular jury is now open |
The Murcia International Film Festival (IBAFF), promoted by the City of Murcia and born at the Puertas de Castilla Center, will celebrate its eleventh edition from February 28 to March 7 with the Francisco Rabal Regional Film Library as venue and will provide to the public the option of experiencing other ways of understanding cinema.
The Councilor for Culture and Heritage Recovery, Jesús Pacheco, explained that "the IBAFF has been working for years for a society committed to cinema, as well as generating the creation of networks of Murcia that promote a quality cultural life and participate actively at the festival. "
The main novelty of this year is the creation of a program of parallel activities, with film cycles and workshops, which "represent the starting gun of the IBAFF XI giving greater visibility to the festival and promoting the involvement of Murcia from now on," has pointed Pacheco.
The bases of the IBAFF XI are now available on the ibaaf.com website.
The works presented, whose registration is free, may be of all genres, any language and free theme, although the selection will emphasize the proposals that combine radicality, formal requirement and narrative searches beyond conventional cinematographic forms.
To register the films, whose production must be after January 1, 2018, you just have to fill in the form available online.
The deadline will end 15 after its publication in the BOE.
"We trust that the IBAFF is a window for Murcian production and we hope to repeat the figures of other editions, with an annual average of 350 works submitted, 70% short and 30% long, both fiction and documentaries from the five continents."
A selection committee chosen by the festival management will determine the works that will integrate the IBAFF XI.
The jury will be composed of experts related to the film industry, the media, culture and the arts.
This jury will deliver the Best Feature Awards of the Official Section, endowed with 8,000 euros, and Best Short Film of the Official Section, with 2,000 euros.
In addition, an Audience Award will be selected for both categories, awarded by popular vote during the festival.
The IBAFF Young prize -voted by students from institutes of the Region of Murcia- will also be awarded;
the Solidarity Screen Award -voted by different groups that the festival invites to participate in its programming as hospitalized patients, people with special needs or inmates of prisons-;
the Arrebato Prize - with which the festival recognizes the trajectory, evolution and firm interest in discovering new cinematographies to the public;
and an Honorary Award.
"The IBAFF has been working for years for a society committed to cinema, as well as for generating the creation of networks of citizens that foster a quality cultural life and actively participate in the festival," said Pacheco.
For this reason and to ensure that the vote is democratic and fair, this year the IBAFF XI again offers 30 places to participate as a Popular Jury for the films screened in the Official Section.
Those interested should commit to the attendance and viewing of the films of the Official Section from February 28 to March 7 and register through a request that can be downloaded on the web and must be sent by mail to juradopopular@ibaff.es.
The registration period will be two months, from November 20, 2019 to January 20, 2020.
The call for the Volunteer Service is also opened, which allows citizens to collaborate in their process and execution, bringing them closer to the cinema and its management and offering the possibility of actively participating in its processes and exhibition.
In this case, the collaboration of IBAFF volunteers - from February 15 to March 15, 2020 - focuses on auxiliary services, always under the supervision of professionals and an IBAFF coordinator.
To do this, you have to meet a series of requirements, such as being over 18 years of age, and go through a selection process after sending an enrollment form to volunteers@ibaff.es.
