WHY THIS AWARD PRIZE NACIONAL DE CORTOMETRAJES "JAIME OSORIO GÓMEZ"
Community of Viterbo Caldas, has not been sufficiently fair or not had taken seriously the importance that has for a municipality that one of their children has such an impact in a trade, or art, and even more so at levels that managed it to do the Mr JAIME OSORIO GÓMEZ, who was born in ViterboCaldas, on March 7, 1947 and studied law at the Autonomous University of Colombia.
In the 1970 began to conduct business and to court political documentaries, such as Chile does not surrender, hell. He was a professor at the National University of Colombia and the school of cinema and Television of San Antonio de los Baños in Cuba, in addition to representing the Colombian producers in the Board of Directors of Proimágenes in motion. He directed the medium-length films all rights reserved, ceremony of the Benkuna and life or death, where are already insinuating clearly the characters of confession to Laura. In the 1980 was the producer of tropical snow, the Emberá and my Macondo and was Assistant Director and production of two films by Lisandro Duque: Visa USA and miracle in Rome. In 1990 he participated in the lab of the Sundance Institute directed by Robert Redford with the confession project scripts to Laura, which a year later became his debut film. In 1991 he was general producer of Nazca, series television Española, shot in 21 countries of Latin America, in addition to production of the film l'enfant du Bont du Monde for French television. But would miss more things: was the co-producer of the Virgin of assassins, Barbet Schroeder; Producer and actor of Maria full of grace of Joshua Marston and also produced La Sombra del caminante of Ciro Guerra. At the time of his death he was working on multiple film projects in various stages of production, such as Satan, directed by Andi Baiz; Child's play, directed by Carlos César Arbelaez; The taxidermist, directed by Luis Alberto Restrepo; the project colors of the mountain, also of Carlos César Arbelaez, and the feature film time of the Lions, written by himself and Jaime Escallón Buraglia. "Those who had the pleasure to shake his hand, understand the size of the huge loss that took the Colombian cinema with his departure" one of the people who have contributed most to our film to reach the upper echelons; for all the above we got in the task of creating the "Prix national of short films JAIME OSORIO GÓMEZ". Posthumous and well-deserved tribute to the mentioned in question.

Puglia, southern Italy.
In 1945 the American army landed in southern Italy for the "liberation" campaign and suddenly passed through Molfetta, our base city. During their stay the allies reported some neighborhoods as "OUT OF LIMITS" due to the "social danger" of the people who lived there. In the first two editions, 2013 and 2014, our festival took place in two squares, Piazza San Michele and Piazza delle Erbe, near the areas still considered by many to be "out of bounds", in Molfetta.
The “Out Of Bounds” film event is run by filmmakers and focuses on empowering the best independent artists and encouraging all aspects of independent film production. We seek the unconventional, the unusual, the underground, the intuitive, the innovative and the true.
Subsequent editions took place in the cloister of the church of San Domenico, in the port area of the town and in the ancient arena of the castle of Barletta, an evocative and historic medieval place and at the Artists' Citadel of Molfetta.
The special sections chosen for this edition are "Dystopian shorts”, short films dealing with themes related to pollution, war, and the exploitation of resources, including dystopian scenarios, and “Shorts on gender equality, even those directed by a male director" (INTERNATIONAL AND NATIONAL).
There is no submission fee for short films from Iran, Palestine, Ukraine, Venezuela, Sudan, Yemen or a State in a critical political situation.
To give visibility to films made by WOMEN of Mediterranean countries.
To promote awareness and knowledge of different cultures in order to better understand the Other.
