The video clip “It Was Lucid”, made by the Communication and Multimedia Design class 14/16 of ETIC_Algarve, was nominated for the “Experimental” category of the 2nd edition of the Sophia Student Awards, a national film competition.
The project was based on the single with the same name, from the EP “Dreaming in Tempo”, recorded and mixed by the graduates of the 14/15 Electronic Music technical course of this school, based in Faro.
The trainer who guided the ETIC trainees who presented the named project was Ricardo Flôxo. Already the Electronic Music students who created the single that serves as the basis for the work were coordinated by Rafael Correia.
The awards, instituted by the Portuguese Academy of Cinema, aim to «encourage and motivate future filmmakers, as well as stimulate educational institutes and their teaching staff», according to ETIC. The competition is open to schools that have courses related to cinema and audiovisual in their training offer.
The contest's promoters received more than 65 proposals from 15 schools across the country, and there were ten educational establishments that saw projects by their chosen students, in the different categories – “Fiction”, “Documentary”, “Animation” and “Experimental” .
This appointment is seen «with pride» by the director of ETIC_Algarve Nuno Ribeiro, not only for the appointment itself, but above all because it reveals «that the creativity and technical capacity of our trainees is on par with the best that is done in the country », in addition to demonstrating «the success in the bet and encouragement that we give to classes from different areas to develop projects as a team, complementing each other, in search of a common goal».
The awards ceremony will take place on November 20, at Centro Cultural de Belém, in Lisbon, and will be preceded by the conference “The challenges of teaching in the digital age” and the presentation of all the nominated films.
