Short film festival

The Department of Culture of the Municipality of Mentana in collaboration with Ricreazione Soc.Coop.Soc.ONLUS ,organizes the seventh edition of the historical audiovisual Festival "STORY IN SHORT".

The idea was born because our territory is rich in testimonies, from the pre-Roman era up to the Risorgimento: the enhancement of this heritage therefore also passes through a film festival that collects the works of authors who have ventured into an area that is not very 'frequented' such as reconstruction and historical analysis through short films, documentaries and audio-documentaries.

There are no content limits set for participation in the festival: all of History will be the subject of the works presented.

The jury will reserve the right to select the works to be screened [...]

What Is the Irreverent Film Festival?

Have you made something bold? Awkward? Hysterical? Emotionally scarring in the best possible way? Perfect. You exactly what we’re looking for!

This is the film festival for creators who color outside the lines.

We celebrate the absurd, the offbeat, the unhinged, and the unexpectedly brilliant. We enjoy the unapologetic, cinematic chaos, and filmmakers who bend the rules. So if your film makes people laugh, think, gasp, squirm—or call their therapist—send it in.

Here & Elsewhere is a three-day short film festival and fundraiser dedicated to celebrating Arab voices on screen. We’re seeking poetic and personal stories that reflect the richness and complexity of Arab identity, told by those who live it.

In partnership with Palestinian-Canadian director Fateema Al-Hamaydeh Miller, the festival offers a platform to spotlight underrepresented narratives and foster authentic dialogue through film.

Selected films will screen alongside curated community conversations, director Q&As, and programming designed to build connection.

We normally do not charge for submissions, but as this festival is also a fundraiser we are asking for a small fee.

Submissions are open internationally, with FEE EXEMPTIONS available for local filmmakers.
