HIGHLIGHTED

International Festival

Short film festival

Feature film festival

FESTIVAL ECRÃ is an Experimental Art and Cinema event that, through experiences that question the notion and production of the moving image, seeks to stimulate audiovisual culture. By showing Films, Games, Installations and Videoarts, ECRÃ encourages new formats for the production and exhibition of these works.

This project arose in 2016 from the desire to question the film industry and its “primordial elements” and to give space for filmmakers and artists to experiment freely in audiovisual production and thinking.

Over the years we have works from all parts of the world and presence of names like James Benning, Luis Grané, Ken Jacobs, Paula Gaitán, Julio Bressane, Luiz Rosemberg Filho, Seyeong Yoon, Gastón Solnicki, Geraldo Sarno, among others veterenas and new creators.

Stories of sea, life, and cinema.

At the Corto e Cultura Film Festival, cinema comes alive among the ancient walls of Manfredonia and the Gargano sea: short films, documentaries, animations and screenplays that tell stories of the world, emotions, and people—with poetry, humor, and heart..

Every screening is a journey: stories of life, love, challenges, dreams, and landscapes that speak about us. A festival where the audience is not a passive spectator, but a protagonist: they applaud, reflect, laugh, and decide the Audience Award.


The competition includes several sections:

Narrative Shorts – life stories, emotions, and small and great gestures that reveal the human experience.

Short Documentaries – authentic perspectives on the world, blending reality and poetry.
