NEW AWARD «GEOPARQUE UNESCO COSTA QUEBRADA»

 

On 8 September 2024, it was made public that the area known as Costa Quebrada, which covers eight municipalities in Cantabria-Spain (Camargo, Miengo, Piélagos, Polanco, Santa Cruz de Bezana, Santander, Santillana del Mar and Suances), has been considered eligible for recognition as a UNESCO GEOPARK.

 

With the aim of making this worldwide recognition visible at national and international level, and within the framework of the next Piélagos Film Festival (scheduled for May 2025), the Piélagos Town Council, together with the Government of Cantabria, proposes the creation of an award named after this unique environment: UNESCO GEOPARQUE COSTA QUEBRADA.

 

This call will benefit from the projection and prestige inherent to the ‘UNESCO’ brand, which represents a social attraction that will directly benefit Piélagos and the entire Autonomous Community of Cantabria.

• Short films of a maximum of 30 minutes, both fiction and documentary, will be accepted. Production after 1 january 2020

a) The landscape of the GeoPark

b) The cultural and/or ethnographic traditions existing in its surroundings

c) The forms of local economic production that take place in the GEOPARK environment.

 

• The scripts, in the development of their stories, will include and develop scenes set in locations and scenarios located in the UNESCO GEOPARK, or which are linked to them.
• Deadline for submission: until 30 March 2025.
• The jury will be made up of members of the Piélagos International Film Festival, as well as a representative appointed by the management or the Governance Committee of the Costa Quebrada Geopar
