Información

Shortway es una estrategia que busca impulsar a los artistas emergentes de América Latina, a través de la promoción y producción de proyectos de cortos animados de tipo autoral, con visiones artísticas que normalmente no tienen apoyo de las cadenas de televisión o productoras de cine.

Es una colaboración entre el Festival de Annecy, el evento de animación más importante del mundo, y el Festival Pixelatl, el principal encuentro de vinculación entre artistas de latinoamérica con las industrias globales de la animación, cómic y videojuegos.

La convocatoria para la segunda edición se publicó el 7 de diciembre de 2020, y cerró el 25 de enero de 2021. Durante el periodo de inscripción se alcanzaron 275 registros de proyectos de 15 países distintos de América Latina.

De los inscritos seleccionaron 11 proyectos de Argentina, Costa Rica, Chile y México, que son los que pasaron a la segunda fase de la estrategia.

Uno de los componentes más importantes de la estrategia, es la realización de un bootcamp (campo de entrenamiento) para los proyectos finalistas, con la participación de mentores profesionales internacionales que revisarán cada proyecto para aportar guía y retroalimentación.

A causa de la pandemia, la segunda edición del bootcamp de Shortway se realizará en línea del 15 al 19 de marzo.

Para lograr trasladar las actividades a su versión Online de manera que funcionen, en esta ocasión contaremos con la participación de 18 mentores y conferencistas.

El programa contempla actividades de dos tipos: por un lado la parte formativa, con talleres y clases maestras especializadas que buscan aportar herramientas concretas a los participantes que los ayuden a mejorar sus capacidades, y por otra parte los espacios de revisión y asesoría de cada proyecto, incluyendo las reuniones de retroalimentación uno a uno con productores y mentores de la industria.

Este evento es exclusivo para los finalistas.
