The trailer for Homing, one of the winning short films from the first edition of The Dream Makers, is now available. The competition is driven by Fundación SEAT CUPRA, ESCAC and the mentorship of J.A. Bayona.
Directed by British filmmakers Hansel Rodrigues and Lizzie Atherton, the short film explores narratives around immigration and the limits of political correctness with an original approach. It arrives backed by several awards, including the Onofre Award for Best Short Film at the Iberian Film Festival.
Now, Homing has the honor of opening the 59th edition of Sitges Film Festival, screening at the opening gala alongside the feature film Found Alive, by Carlota Pereda. The festival runs from October 8th to 18th.
This success comes at a particularly sweet moment for the competition, which this summer saw an extraordinary response to its open call, with numerous emerging filmmakers from around the world submitting their projects to be part of the next edition of The Dream Makers.
Another example of how The Dream Makers turns an idea into a real opportunity within the industry.
Congratulations to the whole team.
