And remember!
Behind all the videos that you can consult in the archive there are hours of dedication, technical equipment, sometimes materials are produced, travel is required, teams of different specializations participate and are hired... Sometimes these productions are financed by grants or commissions; sometimes they are made as an investment from which costs are expected to be recovered through the exhibition and distribution of the resulting films. For the authors and professionals who develop these works as a job, any dedication of their time entails a cost. For the cultural professionals who devise and coordinate programs in which to show these works, all the time they spend thinking about and organizing these activities is a cost. HAMACA works to value all the tasks, visible and invisible, that need to be done for experimental audiovisual to be produced and shown to the public, and to defend a fair remuneration consistent with the dedication they require.
