Once again, Escuela Superior de Cine y Audiovisuales de Cataluña (ESCAC) has left an indelible mark on the 78th edition of the Cannes Film Festival, consolidating its position as one of Europe’s leading institutions for developing film talent.
ESCAC Films at La Cinef: Marc Camardons’ ‘Per bruixa i metzinera’
The short film Per bruixa i metzinera, Marc Camardons’ final Master’s project, has been selected to compete at La Cinef, the section dedicated to film schools. Produced by ESCAC Films, the short is a fantastical story set in the Catalan Pyrenees that explores rural memory and folk legends .
Participation in the Marché du Film and Short Film Corner
ESCAC has also had a prominent presence in the festival’s industry sections. Students on the Master’s in Production travelled to the city to attend a series of events, talks and workshops. This professional experience gives them the opportunity to gain practical tools for the future, expand their international network of contacts and experience the pulse of the film industry from the inside.
