• Experimento Deanie, by María Rogel del Hoyo. The committee has valued the solidity and complexity with which the different elements of the project are articulated, which contemplates carrying out a cinematographic investigation, a contemporary vindication of melodrama and a mediation process with adolescents, in an intimate dialogue. The proposal addresses the emotional in the adolescent world, in a process that happens with. It will be developed in a work with 4 institutes, multiplying the same scene, of the "Splendor in the grass", thus presenting a peripheral and diverse vision of melodrama, which questions the treatment of femininity, while incorporating chance from solvency.

As a substitute for any unforeseen event that prevents the execution of the first one, it has been selected:

• Una cuestione di peso, by Matteo Guidi. It is an investigation on the gesture of concealment of the Monument in memoria della fondazione dell’impero, with a narrative composed of collective reflections, archive images and the gaze of a group of students. The evaluation committee has assessed the relevance of the theme, the research on representation and technology, as well as the development through a collaborative process.

The selected project will be produced during 2021, will be disseminated through the network of Cervantes Institutes and will be catalogued and distributed at a state and international level by Hamaca on a non-exclusive basis, and may be part of research or learning programs.
