Toronto Shorts is where films from all genres intersect. The heart of the festival is the quality and scope of extraordinary film programming which consists of a wide spectrum of categories from high to low budget films under 45 minutes.
The festival has become a career stepping stone, establishing a tradition of discovering and promoting filmmakers who have gone on to be Academy Awards Nominees, including :
2021 Oscar Nominee 'The Present' by Farah Nabulsi
2019 Oscar Nominee ‘Weekends’ by Trevor Jimenez
2018 Oscar Nominees 'Watu Wote - All of Us' (Germany) and 'The Eleven O'Clock' (Australia)

Florence is the most culturally vibrant city in Europe and has been rewarded for the quality and attractiveness of its museums, theatres and cinemas. Entre Dos Mundos has chosen it as the stage to present the best Ibero-American feature films, shorts and documentaries to promote our diversity, our stories, our social impact messages, our cultures, our flavours and our emotions.
The festival mission is to exhibit and celebrate films from Ibero-America that possess a high-level of artistry and are otherwise noteworthy for communicating a meaningful and powerful message of social impact. We are looking for stories that stay with the audience after leaving the cinema, that challenge the way we think and feel about the world around us.
We aim to bring Ibero-American cinema closer to the Italian public and to make known the great talent of its protagonists and the very high quality of its productions. The audience of our festival is cultured, curious and always open to new and alternative film proposals.
The fifth competitive edition of the Florence Ibero-American Film Festival will take place from September 29th to October 2nd 2022, as every year, at the Cinema La Compagnia, located in the historic centre of Florence, a stone's throw from the Duomo.
