Estrada is a member of Caimán, Cuadernos de Cine y Secuencias’ editorial department.
The workshop will delve into the film essay’s limitless possibilities with three first lessons dealing with the screening and discussion of the different forms and approaching strategies to the discipline, and two days for the making of a work that will be screened and discussed by the rest of the participants during the workshop’s last session. Attendance to this workshop will be priced 40 per person.

Thus, Virginia García del Pino, Elías León Siminiani, Isaki Lacuesta and Fernando Franco will share with those present the raising doubts, developmental possibilities and strategies they deal with in their ongoing projects.
Sessions are designed as open processes in which those present will learn from the working methods of the lecturers, but also in a way that the latter can keep on shaping up their creative processes.
