Blue Fear / Peur Bleue

Ángel Fernández, Paulina Niembro, Manuela Gagete; Lycée français Molière de Zaragoza, Spain

Chained / Encadenats

Marc Jaen, Artur Sandoval; Escola Cooperativa Nou Patufet, Spain

After a collective act of evil, a group of teenagers begins to experience a new feeling: guilt.

Elián Gómez; Escola Cooperativa Nou Patufet, Spain

A lonely teenager uses an AI to talk to his deceased father.

“An interesting, topical theme. Solid script and acting. / A film that is not that successful in execution, especially toward the end, but which is based on a very interesting idea for which it deserves a high rating.”

Life is a Lottery

Lucija Hesky; SŠ Ambroza Haračića – Mali Lošinj, Hrvatska

Two thieves, more clumsy than dangerous, wander through neighborhoods in search of easy money. Their attempts at breaking into houses consistently end in failure — from nosy neighbors to relentless dogs, nothing seems to go their way. But when they come up with a plan to get their hands on a winning lottery ticket, everything changes.

“A successful comedy. The humorous characters were created by authentic and charming actors.”

The Lost Film / La pellicule perdue

Group; Collège Marx Dormoy, France

A group of friends sneak out of their classroom to visit the cinémathèque. In a storeroom, they meet a young girl wearing a dress from another time. Suddenly, after a flash of light, they find themselves transported into what appears to be inside of an actual movie!

“A very interesting film. In style, it resembles old children’s TV shows.”

The Perfect Recipe

Group; Colegio Escuelas Pías de Valencia, Spain

A moving short film that follows Lucía, a bullied student, who finds a great opportunity to change her relationship with Hugo, a classmate.

“Quite interesting, with almost the entire school involved in the process. Only the sound effects spoil the impression.”
