• The Bueu International Film Festival closes its seventeenth edition with the day dedicated to girls and boys
• A “stop motion” workshop, a concert by Dani Barreiro and Kids, and a screening session of short films for family audiences, special programming for the little ones in a day that started with the Galician Schools Gala

21.09.24 The seventeenth edition of the Bueu International Film Festival closed this Saturday. With movies, of course. Those of the Minific, the program of activities dedicated each year to children. The session of shorts for family audiences, scheduled for 6:30 p.m., was the last of the activities of the XVII FICBUEU. Earlier, girls and boys could take part in a stop motion workshop. And dance and have fun with the music of Dani Barreiro and Kids. The day began with the Galician Schools Gala, dedicated to the teams responsible for the short films made by schools and which participated, and competed, in the festival.

The FICBUEU has among its objectives the promotion of culture through cinema, and the same one that works to promote and spread creativity and film production in its environment, wants to help build new audiences. Also in childhood.

And the children’s audience responded in the same way as the adult audience did between September 6 and 15, during the screenings and activities scheduled around the “Official Section” of the competition: they attended massively, significantly increasing participation compared to last year and barely leaving seats free to enjoy the films at the Centro Social do Mar.

The award ceremony for the winning short films of the Galician Schools Section served to inaugurate, at 11 a.m., the last day of the FICBUEU. It was led by the writer and editor Olalla González, and featured the participation of plastic artist Marc Taeger: he took care of the visual support of the event by drawing and live animation.

Then the workshop, the concert, and the screenings would come. And then the curtain came down on the 2024 edition of the Bueu International Film Festival. The FICBUEU team is already working on the next edition of the competition. The number eighteen. The one of majority age.
