Mad Kids Short Film Festival is an “ASD A.P.S. Mad Kids” project.
This is the 1st edition of this event.
Mad Kids is an Italian Swing Association committed to supporting and promoting initiatives related to the Swing Era.
We specialise in Swing Dance and we actively work to make known what Swing music meant to people in those years, and how it can be a great opportunity to engage with now.
Mad Kids Short Film Festival is created with the intention to spread the spirit of the Swing Music in a pandemic-ridden world where it is no longer possible to experience Swing Dancing through traditional way.
