All the Awards of the UBA Short Film Competition

FIC.UBA Award for Best UBA Short Film, Málaga Talent Campus Capacitation Program and INDI GANDHI Award

Después del silencio, by Juana González Posse
Jury Argument: 
"It is an honour for this jury to recognize this work within the framework of the UBA International Film Festival, an institution distinguished for promoting creativity and critical thinking through cinematic art. In this short film, we find a subtle and powerful narrative that explores spaces of intimacy through evocative cinematography. With static shots, precise dialogue, and deeply felt performances, it portrays grief, and the journey from introspection toward light and reconnection. Its rhythm and deliberate pacing create an immersive, contemplative experience. Together, these elements make this piece one that lingers in memory, a film that reveals cinema’s power to capture the ineffable. As a jury, we recognize not only its technical and artistic quality but also its emotional depth; a strong, distinctive voice emerging from the academic and creative environment that the UBA nurtures".


Best Direction Award - BIFF BANG Capacitation Program and APUBA Award

Todos mis demonios, by Angie Gatto 
Jury Argument: 
"For its powerful visual and sonic narrative, which conveys, with honesty and rawness, the pulse of a generation. From its post-punk aesthetic to its carefully crafted art direction, the short presents a young, vibrant, and visceral universe. Technically, the saturated photography and strong contrasts stand out, as does the sound design that amplifies the characters’ emotions, and the agile editing that follows the inner rhythm of the story without losing intimacy. Artistically, the performance of the protagonist is particularly notable embodying, with naturalness, the tension between creation and self-destruction. The direction brings a personal and sensitive perspective to themes of artistic struggle, power dynamics, and the search for one’s own voice. All my Demons is a work that, thanks to the strength of its technical and artistic team, combines aesthetic force and emotional depth, making chaos, music, and desire coexist in a single cinematic breath".


Jury Special Mention

Búsqueda Fungi, by Nicolás Galizia y Victoria Mome
Jury Argument: 
"In a national context where Argentine public universities, and particularly the University of Buenos Aires, have been the target of constant attacks and attempts to discredit over 200 years of extraordinary history, this film stands as a powerful reminder. Despite all adversity, the UBA continues to raise the banners of excellence through the dedication of its community. This Special Mention is awarded to Fungi Search for its focus on the public university, and to its creators, Nicolás Galizia and Victoria Mome, for highlighting how the UBA is a collective of people who champion culture, science, research, and the creation of knowledge above all else. The award also honors the faculty researchers from the School of Exact and Natural Sciences, who venture into the Yungas expecting no reward beyond sharing their knowledge. This is how the UBA strengthens the nation: by opening its doors to those yet to walk its halls, and by safeguarding Argentina’s cultural and scientific heritage, even in the face of those who “wield the chainsaw,” destroying without ever planting anew".
