The Multimedia Engineering Coordinator of CESUN, Carlos Vidrio said: “With this event I reaffirm that one of the main tasks of universities is the construction of ties. Take students out of the classrooms and seek, above all, the exposure of their talents. Emergente has been, this last year, a reason for the effort and dedication of multimedia engineering students to show the highest level in their audiovisual productions. I am very proud of their achievements and I am sure that they will soon reap more.”

For its part, the University of California International (UDCI) presented “G5” directed by Ulises Martínez; “Glen and Cookie” by Salvador Burgueño; “Lenguaje Mental” by Julio Valdez; “Por Distraida” by Ximena Torres; “Steve El Crazy” by Jorge Luis Nieves; “Purity” by Zayd Pinos Lara; “Yukon” by Isvi Verduzco; “Batman” by Adrián Rosas; and “Hematophobia” by Cortes Val, the latter presented in 2022 in Shorts México as part of the Baja California Exhibition, according to Javier Espinoza, Baja Film Commissioner, who coordinates the EMERGENTE BC program.

Diana Trejo, Coordinator of the Degree in Cinematography at the UDCI stated: “This is a platform where students can see their short films on a different screen than the one they are used to, the Cineteca is the goal of any filmmaker from Baja and this It is an opportunity to have the full experience.”
