BUEU. PONTEVEDRA. 23.09.2023. The BUEU International Film Festival, FICBUEU, says goodbye today to its 16th edition with the awarding of the Galician Schools Gala, held in the Auditorium of the Centro Social do Mar de Bueu, to the best short films made in educational centers of the community. It was the end of two weeks of programming designed to show all types of audiences the new trends in film creation and the latest developments in short-form auteur cinema.

In the Secondary Education category, the winning film was Non estás soa. Non cales. Non te peches. Non es a culpábel, made by first-year high school students from IES Salvaterra do Miño. The short, made as an advertisement, addresses a current topic: mental health in adolescence. This short competed with three other finalists of the contest: Mundo ao revés, by CPI Alcalde Xosé Pichel, from Coristanco (A Coruña), and O conto da muller lamprea and O vello máis o río both presented by the IES As Barxas, from Moaña.
