International Short Cinema Festival is the place that will help not only newcomers but also professional filmmakers to be recognized by the audience and the international jury. The beauty of short films is that they are rarely "empty" inside. You can get more emotions from watching a fifteen-minute short film than from watching the most famous full-length movies and TV series. Let's prove to ourselves and to the whole world that short films are the best of all cinematography!

This vibrant event will take place in the heart of Murillo, where filmmakers from around the world will gather to celebrate the art of short cinema. The festival is dedicated to showcasing the creativity and talent of both emerging and established filmmakers, providing a platform for them to shine on the international stage
