"BA en corto" means "Buenos Aires in short", and it's a Film Festival dedicated to showcasing and promoting short films from around the world. Bringing people of all walks of life together, we put special interest in diversity, aesthetics and narrative. We celebrate cinema as a universal and common language and we welcome all genres, styles and themes. Our goal is to support independent and professional filmmakers at an international level and share their stories through in-person and online screenings, from Argentina to the entire world.
