Hombres Videopoetry Award: LONGLIST

The contest received 1371 applications from all over the world, so the Staff decided to select twenty video for a LongList. We remember the contest had to develop the following theme:

“Images, perspectives and ideas about the suburb of the future. It can be also a part of an old village contest that has to maintain a well-defined identity. The concept of old village can go separately from historical, temporal and geographic aspects”.
