The Global Drama Project is an indie entertainment production company based in New York City. We work on creating platforms for young and underrepresented artists from around the world to showcase their art.
Unfortunately, there’s never enough space for everyone’s art, but within some communities opportunities are so scarce that brilliant artists never have their work see the light of day (or the darkness of a theater).
So... We've created the Global Drama Project Short Film Festival! We'll be showcasing selected short films at a live screening event in NYC, followed by live Q&A's. Films will be showcased by category, Narrative Films, Documentary Films, Queer Cinema, Best BIPOC Filmmakers, Best Female Filmmakers, International Films. In the evening of the event there will be a red carpet awards ceremony honoring the winners of each category, along with Best Actor and Best Film grand prize.
We are committed to fair opportunities and equal representation.

In the early hours of December 24, 1858, a meteorite, the largest recorded to date in Spain, fell in Molina de Segura, a historic, industrial and entrepreneurial town in the Autonomous Community of the Region of Murcia.
This unexpected and lucky collision has become over time one of the hallmarks of the municipality. Giving rise to an amazing legend that still endures. It is believed that the crater left by the meteorite emits a happy, fertile and inextinguishable radiation that explains the disproportionate appearance of artists of all kinds and conditions that today exhibit a relationship, however light it may be, with the locality. Taking this mythological motif as a pretext, 164 years later, “El Meteorito” was born, at the Molina de Segura Short Film Festival. An initiative of the Department of Culture of the Molina de Segura City Council that will form part of the II SEMANA MOLINA ES CINE and that its continuity is guaranteed.
Its ultimate purpose is to select six short films that share the same nature as the meteorite, namely: short stories with an indelible impact on the viewer. But first, it intends to become an obligatory and recurring reference for national short films and arouse the interest and price of a public that is not specialized in this cinematographic modality.
In its final section -October 28, 2022- only the six selected short films will participate, which will be endorsed by the physical presence of their own creators. Reserving the morning of Saturday October 29 for the meeting of these directors and the awards ceremony.
The theme of the festival, whatever the genre and format of the works that attend the Festival, must be of an eminently social nature.
CINETORO is projected as a transdisciplinary Festival-School, dedicated to curatorial practice and the training of filmmakers; building bridges between emerging talents and prominent national and international artists, and promoting analysis and criticism related to the production and thinking behind experimental cinema and animation.
We advocate for a cinema where poetry and art dialogue; that draws its limit beyond the perimeter of spectacularity, of technical correctness, of the topics and forms on the agenda. It is an imperfect cinema, which accepts its artisanal condition and is concerned with the recovery of the consciousness of corporeality; reflecting, problematizing and questioning the construction of image and sound.
Cinema with a territorial imprint, which redesigns, mutates and pronounces itself before the world. Resignifying the territory, transforming the perspective on rurality and providing the community with spaces for the appropriation of knowledge.

VI INTERNATIONAL AUDIOVISUAL EXHIBITION
CRAFTSMANSHIP.
The 6th International Craft Audiovisual Exhibition promoted by the Catalan Government through the Consortium of Commerce, Crafts and Fashion (CCAM) is a meeting point for two fields: crafting and audiovisual.
It is created to generate synergies to promote the creation of quality audiovisuals, based on artisanal creative processes and where the focus is the artisans and their crafts.
The exhibition is the only one of its kind to be held in Catalonia and throughout Spain.
This year it reaches its sixth edition with the aim of showing the diversity and creative richness of the crafting world, through unique and contemporary stories from the artisanal crafts around the world.
In past editions we have seen projects showing the commitment to sustainability
and feminism, documenting the fusion between technological innovation and crafts or audiovisuals explaining the roots of crafting in the territory.
In a world where borders seem to multiply and human connections are often diluted, crafting is a space that unites people from different places and communities, showing that creativity and ability can transcend geographical limits and cultures.
In this 6th Exhibition we want to show crafting as a place without borders. No matter if it comes from a little town on the mountains or from a big city, artisanal craft will find its way to remind us of the importance of creativity,
community, and authenticity from every corner of the globe.
The pieces must be original and unpublished, and they will be presented at the SHow that will take place at the Disseny Hub Barcelona on the 23rd of November.
The films will then be available on the FILMIN cinema platform and the CCAM website.
This year the coordination and management will be taken care by BBIntervencions.
They will guide you and help you with any questions you might have during the process.
Welcome to the 6th International Craft Audiovisual Exhibition, welcome to the joy of crafting!
A space for films, the production and methodology of which are openly collective and collaborative, and whose arguments and aesthetic are alternative and bold.
Cooperation, collectivity and collaboration will be the concurrent themes running throughout the screenings, dialogue and discussion during the festival.
