PRESENTATION
3-99 years
“Corti a Ponte” is an International Short Film Festival distinguished by its commitment to fostering cinematic education and engaging audiences of all ages and social backgrounds.
The festival comprises two main components: the Grande Festival International, which showcases professional short films, and the Piccolo Festival International, dedicated to short films produced by children and teenagers from around the world.
Screenings are complemented by side competitions and events, including a 48-hour filmmaking challenge, live performances, workshops and a meeting.
Theme of the year: GRAPHY
This year’s theme, GRAPHY, invites us to read the world as a page to be written: photo-graphy writes reality with light, cinema-tography writes its movement, and geo-graphy traces its shapes, boundaries, and possibilities. It is an opportunity to explore places, stories, and landscapes, real or imagined, and to give shape to possible worlds through an original and authentic gaze.
GRANDE FESTIVAL
It is dedicated to auteur short films. For 2026, it will feature a showcase of exceptionally high-quality short films.
PICCOLO FESTIVAL
The “Piccolo Festival” is the section of “Corti a Ponte” designed for schools. It showcases short films made by children and teenagers from all over the world, ranging from 3 to 18 years old
