Humans Lab has received a total of 58 applications this year, from which the following have been selected: eight projects<\/b>Although five positions were initially announced in the terms and conditions, the audiovisual laboratory organisers say they have decided to expand the opportunities due to \u201cthe number of proposals submitted and, above all, their quality\u201d.<\/p>\n

NEW FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR A PARTICIPATING SHORT FILM<\/b><\/p>\n
Humans Lab presents an important novelty this year: one of the seven selected projects will receive, after completing the two days of training, a Financial endowment of 500 euros<\/b> for the screenwriter<\/b>, so that it can complete the development phase. To do this, a team will be available jury<\/b> formed by producers and\/or professionals from the audiovisual industry, who will assess the originality of the script, the defence of human rights and the viability of production.<\/p>\n
ABOUT ALMUDENA CARRACEDO AND CARLOS MARQUES-MARCET<\/b><\/p>\n
Almudena Carracedo<\/b> (Madrid, 1972) began his professional career as a filmmaker in the United States, where he directed and produced Made in LA <\/i>(2007), her debut feature-length documentary, tells the story of three migrant women working in a garment factory in Los Angeles fighting for basic labor rights. This work earned her the Emmy Award for Best Documentary in 2008, among other awards.<\/p>\n
Class consciousness and social activism emanating from Made in LA <\/i>are a constant in Carracedo's career. Thus, upon his return to Spain at the head of his production company Lucernam Films, he embarked on The Silence of Others<\/i> (2018), another documentary that, in this case, addresses the silenced struggle for justice of the victims of the Franco dictatorship. The result of a seven-year process, this work received more than 40 awards, including the Audience Award at the Berlinale, the Goya for Best Documentary Feature, the Emmy for Best Documentary. In addition, it was shortlisted for the Oscars.<\/p>\n
This year, Almudena Carracedo has premiered You are not alone. The fight against the pack<\/i> (2024), a portrait of sexual violence against women. Taking as a starting point the group attack suffered by a young woman at the Sanfermines in 2016, this film collects the media treatment of the case and the response of feminism until giving rise to the so-called #MeToo<\/i> Spanish.<\/p>\n
This work, which has reached third place in the world ranking of non-English language films on Netflix, has just received the Ondas Award for best documentary. In addition to her extensive list of awards, Carracedo has been named Doctor Honoris Causa by Illinois Wesleyan University and is a member of the Spanish Film Academy, the European Film Academy and the American Film Academy, as well as the Board of Directors of CIMA.<\/p>\n
For its part, Carlos Marques-Marcet<\/b> (Barcelona, 1983) is one of the most acclaimed contemporary Spanish filmmakers. He started very early as his short film Amunt ia vall<\/i> (2006) received the national award for Young Creators from Injuve and with Udols <\/i>(2008) was selected by the prestigious \u201cCahiers de Cinema\u201d as the best short film of the year.<\/p>\n
It was then that she moved to the United States, where she studied the Master of Film Directing at the UCLA School of Film and Television, and began her career in feature films, with which she has addressed the human condition from different perspectives, such as motherhood, relationships and now death.<\/p>\n
Her feature film debut came in 2014 with 10,000 km<\/i>, a film for which he won the Goya for best new director, the Golden Biznaga for best film at the Malaga Film Festival and five Gaudi awards, including best director, best screenplay and best film in a non-Catalan language. At an international level he won the special award at the SXSW Film Festival and was awarded the new director award at the Seattle Film Festival.<\/p>\n
Later, he arrived Mainland<\/i> (2017), a film that included Geraldin Chaplin in the cast, and Those who will come<\/i> (2019). The latter also won Best Film and Best Director at the Malaga Film Festival, among other awards.<\/p>\n
In Valencia he filmed Guillem's death <\/i>(2020), which tells the story of Guillem Agull\u00f3, a young Valencian anti-fascist who was murdered in 1993 by a far-right group. This earned him the award for best television film at the Gaud\u00ed Awards.<\/p>\n
He is currently immersed in the promotion of his new feature film, which will hit theaters on November 15: They will be dust, <\/i>a musical tragicomedy starring actress \u00c1ngela Molina and in which singer Mar\u00eda Arnal and the dance company La Veronal collaborated.<\/p>\n
Dust They Will Be <\/i>It premiered at the Toronto Film Festival, where it won the Platform Award. In Spain it was the opening film of the 69th edition of the Seminci, which is currently taking place in Valladolid.<\/p>\n
