Visceral, International Horror Film Festival, emerges as a project to showcase, disseminate, and promote genre cinema in the Biobío region. It provides an opportunity to bring cinematic works from around the world to the local audience, structured around a program that includes short film screenings, talks with filmmakers, and audiovisual workshops, with a cultural, artistic, and entertainment focus on horror and its various subgenres.
Among our objectives, we aim to position ourselves as a local, regional, national, and international reference within the genre festival circuit, offering a unique thematic experience for filmmakers who submit their films through the recognition of their work via selection and subsequent awards for the most outstanding pieces of each edition. We also seek to enhance the experience for our attendees, who will have the chance to watch, discuss, and share in a space dedicated to genre cinema, as well as participate as jurors through public voting.

Loud 'N' Roll Cinema emerges as an international festival dedicated to showcasing and awarding rock music videos, highlighting the fusion of music and cinematic language. More than just a screening event, the festival aims to be a celebration of creativity, where audiovisual storytelling amplifies the power, aesthetics, and attitude of rock.
PRESENTATION OF FESTIVAL
The International Imago Film Festival was born with the idea of promoting cinema, especially independent cinema, by encouraging research and experimentation with cinematographic language.
The idea of the festival was born from the meeting of IMAGO with the city of Civitella del Tronto, where the award-winning film "The right to happiness" by Claudio Rossi Massimi was made by IMAGO.
After the first two editions in the wonderful setting of Civitella del Tronto, the Festival has moved to the Municipality of Teramo with a broad cultural program, full of new features that go beyond national borders and that strengthens and highlights this fascinating bond.
The International Imago Film Festival will be all this and much more.
Short Out is a film festival conceived as a space for reflection on the issues shaping suburban and peripheral areas.
The enhancement of peripheral spaces is today a crucial topic for exploring expanding territories and understanding an urban context increasingly oriented toward centralization.
Within the margins lies an unexpressed — or still unexplored — artistic vitality. Short Out aims to bring this creative energy to light, starting from Lainate, on the edge of the metropolitan city of Milan.
The fifth edition of Short Out Festival will take place from Tuesday 7th to Sunday 12th July, within the natural spaces and courtyards of Villa Litta — an emblem of the artistic, historical, and cultural heritage of the city of Lainate.
Short Out aspires to be a widespread festival, one that does not end with film screenings alone, but gives rise to a continuous programme of events unfolding across all six days of the festival.

This year, the conceptual theme adopted, “I don’t accept the world as it is,” addresses uncertainty as an experience that particularly resonates with our generation: a youthful perspective that doubts both its present and its future, rejecting the world not from a certainty of knowing how it should be, but from the difficulty of inhabiting it as it is. Thus, uncertainty emerges as a collective symptom of our time, and in this sense, we have chosen to embrace it and find in it raw material for creation.
