10 Finalists - 2 tickets to the 28th San Diego Latino Film Festival & limited promotional exposure.
Design Topic:
Your design must address the following prompt:
The pandemic has changed the way the festival screens films. For 26 years, SDLFF screened films at movie theaters. COVID-19 forced the festival to postpone the in-person 27th edition in 2020 and pushed them to move their offerings to a virtual platform.
The 28th edition in 2021 will feature both in-person screenings (at movie theaters, drive-ins, etc.) and virtual screenings.
Your design must reflect the new hybrid format of the festival and visually represent what this experience might be. Think about groups of people watching films from home (sitting in front of a TV, popcorn on the coffee table, etc) and what an in-person experience might be-- socially distanced patrons? Masks? The poster design should reflect the realities of the world. SDLFF encourages you to be creative in the interpretation of this prompt!
