Objectives and Thematic Focus Construir TV organizes the Sixth Edition of Construir Cine: International Labour Film Festival, from May 9 to 15, 2019, in the city of Buenos Aires, whose main purpose is to promote creativity and support the independent making of audiovisual arts dealing with the world of work and workers, providing exhibition and diffusion means. In this Edition, the Festival shall focus on Migration and Forced Labour. TECTV promotes the promotion and accessibility of scientific and technological topics by promoting vocations and studies related to these issues in the new generations. CINE.AR TV and CINE.AR PLAY are proposals designed to disseminate and give visibility to quality audiovisual content in Argentina and worldwide. The stories of migrations are those that allow us to explain what they transform us and reconfigure us as a society. From the genetic conformation that produces miscegenation to the new mixed forms of feeding. Also the incorporation of technologies, both, those that impact on a massive level and the small ones that achieve water extraction in small communities. Migrations impact, collide, transform cultures and in every cultural change there is science and technology, and at the same time, science and technology are a way to make visible and understand those changes. Aware of the global importance of the theme "CONSTRUIR CINE", "CONSTRUIR TV", "TECTV", CINE.AR TV and CINE.AR PLAY launch the One Minute Video Non Official Competition BUILDING MIGRANT STORIES. Its objective is to offer an empathic view of migrants through the knowledge of personal stories, revealing the differences in their traditions, making known their gastronomy, daily habits, and customs.

2 In short, the Competition seeks to promote a closer appreciation towards people from other countries on the Migration issue, which is based on: (i) the working conditions and lack of minimum rights faced by migrants and refugees, and (ii) the economic, social and cultural contributions and benefits of migration for both the country of origin and the host country. Those works that do not tackle the Migration theme shall not be considered at the time of selection. Section II.
