Creamurcia. Ana Cano, Rocío Marín and Javier López Lara are three of the winners of the local competition, which today awards prizes in ten categories at a gala at the Teatro Circo
With a short film about how ephemeral and intense youth is for those who live it without thinking about what comes next, Javier López Lara has won first prize in the Short and Documentary category of the competition in Creamurcia. Today, together with the winners of the other nine categories, he will be present at 8 p.m. at the Teatro Circo, where the award ceremony will take place for an initiative celebrating its 30th anniversary. ‘Fast Youth’ is the name of López Lara’s first work as a director, a “very alternative” short film, says the maker, who was already familiar with the competition because he was entered twice in the Photography category and reached the final.
“The win surprised me. This is the first festival or competition where I present it and I didn’t know how it would work because it’s so alternative and also mostly in English,” the director tells LA VERDAD.
“I wrote the short film right after the quarantine. My plans got a little messed up and when I was able to do projects again, I got motivated. Lucas, the main character – he’s not a professional actor – inspired me. I’ve always wanted to do something related to the world of skateboarding because I’ve been skating since I was eight years old and I’ve always been closely connected to the urban culture,” says the 26-year-old of a project he defines as “mockumentary , short film, video art…” which stands for “that moment when you stop to reflect and judge whether everything you have done is right and whether the decisions you have made have been the right ones. It’s very reflective,” the author explains of this audiovisual “translation of my childhood.” “Everything moves fast and especially when you do things. In this case, Lucas is a very active and dynamic character. A story with which the author leaves his conclusion: «It doesn’t matter how you do it, as long as you do it the way you think is right. There is also no absolute truth. “I made this short film to show what I could do and to see what I was capable of. We shot everything in five very intense days,” recalls the project leader, who works as a cameraman and wants to continue to capture his ideas on the silver screen. “I would like to do something more related to the world of surfing and travel, another of my two passions,” he concludes.
With ‘Pupilas’, Rocío Marín takes part in a competition for the first time. And he won. Her jewelery collection has won the Fashion Design category. “I was surprised to win, because jewelry is usually not highly valued at these creative awards. When we talk about fashion, people don’t think about jewelry, it seems that clothing is more in the foreground,” explains the creator. “In the end, we got to two jewelry brands, so it looks like it’s taken into account,” he says.
In his collection, Marín gives a representation of the micro-expressions that our eyes can make when we look. “The collection consists of eight models, but in the competition I’m showing three: a finger bracelet, earrings and a choker,” says the artisan, who has a small workshop at home where she makes all the pieces by hand. “The center of the pupil is made with the leftover silver from making other pieces. I’m looking for foundry experiments and this is how involuntary pieces are created ».
Rocío, 30, created her own brand, Antorcha de Plata, 5 years ago. «I combine it with other jobs so far, that I fully dedicate myself to it. I notice that I can live off the brand and in fact, this Christmas I will be setting up a stall at the Circular Market,” explains the creator, who was trained at FREMM and at the Art Academy and works with different materials: “ I started with brass and then polymer clay. I have a few clay collections, another one in brass and four in silver». The prize money goes entirely to your brand, to improve the web and invest in advertising.
“I was a bit discouraged by the music world and winning the Creamurcia was a joy,” said Ana Cano, winner of the Songwriter category.
The singer-songwriter already knew the competition, because last year she reached the semi-finals in Pop Rock. “The prize is a good boost and also the concerts that the city council organizes for me,” thanks the artist, who describes her music as “pop with intimate lyrics of love and heartbreak, very sentimental and intense, just like me.” Self-taught, he plays and composes “for 6 or 7 years, but professionally for a little over 2 years, when I decided to record the songs”. This 25-year-old sees music as a hobby and has references to “singer-songwriters like Andrés Suárez or Carmen Boza, Taylor Swift’s pop, Natalia Lacunza and smaller groups like Casero”. The author of songs like “Difficult to love” has a short-term project to record an EP. For now, he will celebrate the recognition of his talent with his teammates tonight.
