Corti a Ponte is an International Short Film Festival, characterized by an approach devoted to education in the art of cinema and the active involvement of audiences of all ages and social groups.
It consists of two main containers: Grande Festival International, dedicated to author’s shorts and Piccolo Festival International which welcomes short films made by children and teenagers from all over the world.
The screenings are accompanied by a series of competitions and collateral events such as a 48-hour race, a competition for soundtracks, live shows, workshops and meetings.
It is a word that can stimulate various reflections: from the enhancement of essentiality (less is more) to the awareness that sometimes deprivations and limits are painful and frustrating but can be stimuli for creative and innovative responses, in art as in life.
