Corti a Corte was born from a question: what can truly engage an audience increasingly accustomed to streaming platforms and small-screen viewing?
Our answer is a festival conceived as a cinematic salon, bringing the collective experience of cinema back to the centre.
After each short film is screened on the big screen, the audience meets filmmakers and film professionals, taking part in a direct conversation about the works, their cinematic language and the themes they explore.
Corti a Corte is a non-competitive event.
It is a space for encounter and exchange, where short films become the starting point for sharing ideas, experiences and new perspectives.
The three works selected through this open call will receive the official recognition “Corti a Corte 2027 Official Selection” and will be screened on the big screen.
Selected filmmakers will be required to attend the presentation of their works and take part in a public conversation with film professionals and experts. These meetings are conceived as an opportunity for dialogue, in-depth discussion and professional development for emerging filmmakers.
