Shortway es una estrategia que busca impulsar a los artistas emergentes de América Latina, a través de la promoción y producción de proyectos de cortos animados de tipo autoral, con visiones artísticas que normalmente no tienen apoyo de las cadenas de televisión o productoras de cine.
Inició en 2019 como una colaboración entre el Festival de Annecy, el evento de animación más importante del mundo y Pixelatl, el principal encuentro de vinculación entre artistas de latinoamérica con las industrias globales de la animación, cómic y videojuegos. En sus cinco años de existencia, ha colaborado para lograr la producción de varios de los cortometrajes que cada año quedan seleccionados.
El programa actualmente puede seguirse realizando gracias al apoyo de La Liga de la Animación Iberoamericana y otras organizacions que año con año se suman para impulsar el talento emergente de Latinoamérica.
el camino del cortometraje
Shortway sigue lo que hemos llamado "camino europeo" para entrar y desarrollarte en la industria audiovisual, que utiliza el cortometraje y los festivales de cine como mecanismos de acceso, vinculación profesional y presentación de proyectos más ambiciosos.
La estrategia se articula a partir de una convocatoria anual de proyectos de cortometraje animado en etapa temprana de desarrollo, que es abierta a creadores y artistas de Latinoamérica.
Como parte del proceso, se realiza un bootcamp con los proyectos seleccionados, donde cada proyecto recibe asesoría personalizada de mentores y expertos de la industria en sesiones uno a uno.
Durante ese evento tenemos, además, una serie de actividades de formación (talleres y clases maestras) y de vinculación, orientadas al desarrollo de piezas animadas de corte autoral, que son abiertas a todo público (Shortway Campus).
Además, el proyecto ganador se presentan en un Pitch público ante socios potenciales en la sección Animation Du Monde del Festival de Annecy, en Francia, y recibe un pase mercado para el festival Pixelatl, en Guadalajada, México.
CONOCE A LOS SELECCIONADOS
Uno de los componentes más importantes de Shortway es la realización de un bootcamp (campo de entrenamiento) para los proyectos finalistas, con la participación de mentores internacionales que revisarán cada proyecto para aportar guía y retroalimentación.
El programa contempla actividades de dos tipos:
1. Actividades formativas, con un panel y un par de clases maestras exclusivas para los bootcamperos (además de las conferencias abiertas a todo público) para brindar algunas herramientas concretas que ayuden a mejorar los proyectos finalistas
2. Actividades de revisión y asesoría personalizada para cada proyecto: reuniones uno a uno con productores y mentores de la industria.
Este evento es exclusivo para los finalistas.
