At the end of the workshop, each participant gave a pitch presentation of their project, with the aim of being selected to attend the Mifa in June 2024!
Congratulations to Carolina Fernández-Vega Charadán, who won first prize with The Virgen Triste, and to the duo Vladimir García Herrera and Rosse Suárez Fagales, who were awarded a special distinction for the project Inhospitable World.
All in all, we are delighted with this Mifa Campus International – Talents, which made it possible once again to explore a territory where animation is still in its fledgling stages, to identify talented authors and share this fresh spirit with the international animation film community next June in Annecy. So, come and see the presentation of their Cuban animation at the event!
