Those interested in becoming a member of the Young Jury can register until 4 July filling in the form that they will find on the Festival’s website: www.festivaldecine.com.

The organisation of the Iberian Film Festival will give those registered a simple test of cinematographic analysis of a short film in order to guarantee the candidates’ competence and suitability.

The members of the Young Jury will be able to participate in all the Festival’s activities and will obtain a certificate accrediting their status as a Young Jury at the 2022 28th Iberian Film Festival of Badajoz. They will be required to attend all official short film sessions in competition.

With this activity, the European and Ibero-American Academy of Yuste Foundation and the Iberian Film Festival of Badajoz promote the participation of youth in the audio-visual and cinematographic field.
The Jury’s Prize is named after Luis Alcoriza in tribute to this director, screenwriter and film actor who was born in Badajoz and exiled in Mexico after the civil war, becoming one of the greatest figures of Mexican cinema.
His career includes collaborations with Luis Buñuel in eight scripts, including “Los olvidados” and “El ángel exterminador” among others.
