We received the news that our dear director Héctor Silva -International School of Cinema and television of San Antonio de los Baños, Cuba – was chosen for Talents Guadalajara. He had taken part in Cannes Cinéfondation with his short film “Anfibio”. We had just finished the postproduction – coloring/mastering – of his new short film “El Destetado” (An unweaned man).

“Talents Guadalajara” is celebrating its 10-year anniversary at the Guadalajara International Film Festival. It was launched in March 2009, when the FICG, in collaboration with the Berlinale Talents of the Berlin International Film Festival, presented its first edition-then called Talent Campus Guadalajara-, after a successful screening that took place in 2008, during the FICG23 presented as: Visionary campus.
