โShort Daysโ is an international ๐๐ ๐๐ ๐ค๐๐ฎ๐น๐ถ๐ณ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด short film festival that has been active in several Italian cities since 2015. Keeping its nature of periodical screening, since 2018 โShort Daysโ has become a unique festival, with its own peculiar format that our public has come to love.

Every edition the production will chose a new artistic director that will propose his own idea of cinema. Since 2018 we hosted 20 editions curated by some of the most interesting talents of the new generation of Italian filmmakers, screening more than 80 films with thousands of spectators, both offline in cinema venues and online on our own platform. This is not a fake monthly festival. People are going to watch your short and they're going to watch in a curated program by our artistic directors.
This is how our process of selection works:
- The submissions are watched by a pre-selection panel and put in an archive divided by genre, themes, and mood that we share with the new artistic director.
- The new artistic director every season chooses his own mood, genre, taste or topic for the edition and drafts the best films for his idea from the archive. This means that a single submission may be watched by two, three, ten different artistic directors in a year. If it's not chosen by the first, it might be chosen by the others that come later and, in any case, will remain in our archive forever.
