Our mission is to showcase 12 exceptional authorial short films that have been crafted with love and an unwavering commitment to artistic practice.

Dedicated to promoting international cinema from all corners of the globe, our festival brings together diverse voices and cultures. Each selected film will be screened in its original language with Italian subtitles, allowing the audience to fully immerse themselves in the filmmaker's vision and storytelling.

Our festival supports emerging talent. Every month leading up to the annual event, we select and promote short films with the opportunity to share their creative process and insights through exclusive interviews that are published on our website,to be screened during the annual event and to win our 500$ cash prize.

We embrace the spirit of filmmaking in all its forms, appreciating both high-budget productions and no-budget cinema. Genre knows no boundaries at the Mondi Lontani Short Film Festival, as we believe that each cinematic experience has the potential to inspire.
