The short films *Claroscuro* by Valentina Titakis and *Como los erizos* by Andrea Pérez Stevenazzi—both students in the Bachelor of Communication program with a concentration in Audiovisual Universidad ORT Uruguay at Universidad ORT Uruguay—are the directors of two of the five short films representing our country as finalists in the Faciuni Scholarships - International Academic University Film Festival competition, organized annually by DirecTV.
The finalists are aiming to advance to the next round, as the winner will have the opportunity to take a summer course at the University of Southern California School of Cinematic Arts in the United States.
Faciuni is a program that recognizes the work and talent of filmmakers and film students in Latin America with the aim of fostering the development of new filmmakers. The festival takes place in nine countries, where short films made by students are screened, and in-person and online talks are held featuring renowned film directors.
