This section seeks to give space to those first works that do not have easy access to large professional dissemination spaces. In addition, the festival wants to provide emerging filmmakers with the opportunity to present, defend and accompany their films in front of more experienced programmers, producers and directors who can question the proposals and enrich the talks.

In a hyper-massified world where the Internet is a refuge of the mind and an infinite scroll, a rope to descend into the depths of content, why not extract that individual experience from its spacetime and agency? It is a journey into the depths of the digital sea that confronts the images collectively on a movie screen without the possibility of deciding which video to pause and which to stop.

Curtocircuíto - Festival Internacional de Cine de Santiago de Compostela, continúa siendo un lugar para la confluencia de distintas disciplinas, manteniendo como eje principal el cine de autor y la apuesta por los lenguajes contemporáneos. Cada edición persigue, a través de esa interdisciplinariedad, la adhesión entre ciudad, público y creadores. Este 2024, el festival organiza de nuevo, con el apoyo de la Universidade de Santiago y Cafés Candelas, esta propuesta que pone el foco en la intersección de las diferentes artes visuales a través de una residencia artística que acogerá a la fotógrafa y cineasta Rocío Madrid. Es un proyecto centrado en reivindicar una imagen de Santiago de Compostela que contraste con las tradicionales representaciones de la ciudad. OBJETIVO DE LA RESIDENCIA Ante una situación de cambio marcada por la explotación turística en los tiempos de una crisis sanitaria, esta residencia artística busca dotar a la ciudad de imágenes que descubran los orígenes de un casco histórico sepultado en una avalancha digital de fotos tópicas y superficiales. Es por eso que nos proponemos revisitar sus espacios, arquitecturas y calles. Bajo esta premisa, nuestra propuesta partirá de la invitación de la fotógrafa Rocío Madrid. Su estancia tendrá lugar en las fechas del propio Festival, teniendo como objetivo plasmar su visión de la ciudad. “Quiero recoger testimonios de las personas que deciden llegar, quedarse o irse. Comprobar que entra en discordancia y concordancia entre habitante y visitante a través de la fotografía analógica y el texto, para descubrir conclusiones sobre este fenómeno globalizador que atenta sobre la riqueza cultural y la liquidación de recursos en los territorios turistificados”.

One more year, the festival intends to continue recovering the Galician amateur film heritage. After the Carta Branca granted to Ezequiel Méndez in 2018, the screening of Eugenio Granell's films, the recovery of Vidal Bolaño's facet as a filmmaker or the rehabilitation of Grupo Lupa's materials through the figure of Euloxio Ruibal, in 2024 the festival proposes to give visibility to Equipo 64's work. Gonzalo Anaya, Enrique Banet and Ezequiel Méndez himself (responsible for the mythical Cine-Club Universitario) founded and co-directed —as Equipo 64— the following 16 mm documentaries sponsored by the Caja de Ahorros de Santiago: El Camino de Santiago; Malpica; Cuatro plazas, El Pórtico de Compostela ou Compostela. A Castelao script was also made but was not produced due to the team's dissolution. Several unpublished scripts have also been deposited in the Filmoteca de Galicia. In 1964, Anaya, Banet, and Méndez, with a portable film camera, a good dose of inexperience, and boundless determination, made an unforgettable journey to Roncesvalles to film the pilgrims; they managed to set up scaffolding in front of the Pórtico da Gloria (ceded by the Cine Metropol after being used to install a Todd-AO format screen). They plunged into the heart of the Costa da Morte. The copies of these films are deposited in the Filmoteca de Galicia and have not been shown publicly in Compostela for more than 50 years.
