El Festival Escolar de Cine Raul Ruiz, se ha ido posicionado progresivamente en sus dos versiones anteriores como el primer festival de cine escolar experimental del país, con una llegada cada vez mayor en distintas regiones del país. Lo anterior conforma un indicador positivo del impacto que ha tenido esta iniciativa. En ese sentido la iniciativa descrita se ha convertido en una reconocida ventana de difusión para el arte cinematográfico escolar. Además las posibilidades de exploración artística que sugiere el festival a través de sus categorías y criterios de evaluación, ha posibilitado que los equipos realizadores indaguen y experimenten sobre distintos lenguajes del cine. En ese sentido los nuevos desafíos que ofrece el festival en su tercera versión es por un lado, seguir y fortalecer la difusión y apreciación del cine escolar y por otro avanzar en la reflexión y exploración estética, como aportes integrales a la educación, con énfasis en la creatividad, la generación de proyectos y la experimentación de los lenguajes artísticos.
Dicha búsqueda está en concordancia con los objetivos propuestos por la especialidad audiovisual y la propuesta académica institucional de liceo (PEI), cuyo fin apunta a abrir nuevos espacios para la difusión y creación cinematográfica interescolar, valorando la creación estudiantil como aporte directo al desarrollo y aprendizaje de las y los estudiantes como del ámbito artístico y cultural de la comunidad. En ese sentido la propuesta tiene un doble objetivo y se instala como una oportunidad para progresar en los aprendizajes curriculares artísticos en el ámbito del cine, el audiovisual y el video pero también como una experiencia que promueve la articulación y el encuentro de estudiantes desde la experimentación creativa.
Es por ello que el III Festival de Cine escolar Raul Ruiz, es una oportunidad para ampliar los horizontes creativos de difusión del arte y la cultura audiovisual de la comunidad educativa estudiantil, potenciando un encuadre creativo a través instancias que apunten a mejorar la calidad de la enseñanza artística y a atender los intereses, aportes sociales, culturales y económicos de las comunidades. UNESCO es claro en señalar que los objetivos de desarrollo y mejora en la calidad de la educación debe estar acompañado de un cambio sustancial en el ámbito del desarrollo social de los establecimientos. Los proyectos de mejora educativa (PME), no siempre pueden avanzar integralmente hacia el financiamiento de instancias para la difusión, apreciación y creación de proyectos artísticos interescolares.
Según la consecución de estos objetivos, el Festival en sus versiones anteriores ha ido sumando actores relevante de la comunidad educativa y académica. Hoy nos apoya el programa Escuelas al Cine de la Cineteca Nacional y el Archivo Sarmiento Ruiz (se adjunta cartas de apoyo). Quienes se han incorporando abriendo e impulsando fuertemente las posibilidades de este festival a nivel nacional y con un fuerte contenido en el experimentación, la creatividad y el trabajo colaborativo en el ámbito del aprendizaje de niñas, niños y adolescentes. En ese sentido las prospectivas han sido auspiciosas, teniendo como antecedentes que en la primera y segunda versión nos han acompañado la postulación de más de 60 films provenientes de todo Chile y el mundo.
