The selected short films will be screened at showings open to the general public and Festival guests attended by professionals from the audiovisual industry who can chat to the students presenting their work. Their teachers will also have the opportunity to explain the audiovisual teaching methods employed at their centres.
Each candidate school can present three short films. A total of 12 schools will be chosen to participate in the San Sebastian Festival with screening of the works chosen from the three presented for selection.
A special jury consisting of students from the participating schools and chaired by a well-known person from the film world will choose the winner of the Panavision Award, carrying a complete camera package Sony EX III for four weeks of filming or a voucher worth €10,000 for renting any kind of Panavision material for the awarded director.
This same Jury will also choose three directors who will have the opportunity to participate with their works in the next Cannes Festival Short Film Corner.
