The IES Faro de Maspalomas in San Bartolomé de Tirajana, has won the First Prize in Screenplay in the Secondary category in the final of the CinedFest Festival held recently on the island of Tenerife. This award has been shared (ex aequo) with Colegio Luther King de La Laguna, given the equity in the quality of the works presented.
The award-winning short is titled 'Your Second Shadow' and was made by a group of 4th ESO Performing Arts students from the southern center of the island. Its components and protagonists are Aitana Pérez Amaalen, Antonio Guerra Bueno, Daniela Afonso Muza and Emma González Santana.
The short is about the insecurities and addictions of two teenagers who try to escape from their harsh daily reality and which they are not able to face due to the impact on their mental health.
