Santander International Independent Film Festival (2027) - SANFICI

Logo of Santander International Independent Film Festival (2027) - SANFICI

SANFICI is a space to generate meetings at different levels, with an overcoming and innovative will. First of all, it is a space for the relationship between spectators, filmmakers and theorists around cinema and all border and heterodox manifestations. Secondly, it is a special and temporary meeting point.

SANFICI wants to become, year after year, the place of convergence for world independent cinema. But it also wants to be the space where the past and the future dialogue. The place where the most diverse film traditions are embraced with their riskiest proposals.

International Festival

Short film festival

Corti a Corte was born from a question: what can truly engage an audience increasingly accustomed to streaming platforms and small-screen viewing?

Our answer is a festival conceived as a cinematic salon, bringing the collective experience of cinema back to the centre.

After each short film is screened on the big screen, the audience meets filmmakers and film professionals, taking part in a direct conversation about the works, their cinematic language and the themes they explore.

Corti a Corte is a non-competitive event.

It is a space for encounter and exchange, where short films become the starting point for sharing ideas, experiences and new perspectives.

The three works selected through this open call will receive the official recognition “Corti a Corte 2027 Official [...]

Organizing a festival dedicated to the theme of emigration in means giving voice to a wealth of stories, emotions, and memories that still inhabit the area today.

Through short films and documentaries from different parts of the world, the festival aims to build a bridge between the past and the present, between those who left and those who returned or arrived, between the roots and new identities that intertwine in border areas.

It's the desire to rediscover the memory of Friulian emigration, made up of departures, sacrifices, and hopes, and at the same time to reflect on contemporary migrations, which continue to transform communities and the way we look at the world.

In a natural and human context of great intensity, the festival becomes a moment of encounter and sharing, [...]
