The Ca’ Foscari Short Film Festival celebrates its fifteenth edition this year. It will be staged from 19 to 22 March (with a rich pre-opening dedicated to animation on 18 March), in a “diffused” form in Venice, keeping the Auditorium Santa Margherita – Emanuele Severino as its main venue. The Short is the first festival in Europe entirely conceived, organised and managed by a university, under the coordination of artistic and organisational director Roberta Novielli.
As usual, this edition will be very rich, with the Main Competition with 30 films and the collateral sections, important international guests, with Marco Bellocchio as this year’s guest, and unmissable appointments with the special programmes. All made possible thanks to the support of the Fondazione di Venezia, the partners Avani Rio Novo Venice Hotel, the Italian on-demand ‘short’ cinema platform WeShort and the communication agency UGO Comunicazione, and with the awards organised thanks to the contribution of the Museo Nazionale del Cinema di Torino, CINIT – Cineforum Italiano, the Municipality of Venice – Murano – Burano, the Conservatorio di Musica ‘Arrigo Pedrollo’ in Vicenza, Le Giornate della Luce in Spilimbergo, the Religion Today Film Festival in Trento, Venezia Comics and the partnership of numerous festivals: Piccolo Festival dell’Animazione, Smartfilms (Bogotá), Tokyo Student Film Festival, U22 Youth Film Festival (Barcelona) and VideoConcorso Pasinetti.
