RULES

- Purpose

The ColoriQuadri Association, with the aim of promoting short films as a form of entertainment and a means of communication and raising awareness of social issues, is organising the seventeenth edition of the “Muuh Film Festival”. Although the festival is essentially open to any theme, it will be the responsibility of the organising Association, in line with its statutory mission, to collect and subsequently select works that express or promote content “respectful of constitutional principles and human rights”.

The works received/selected will be screened during the Festival, which will take place at Cascina DUC in Grugliasco (TO) on the evening of Friday 11 September 2026 for web series and on Saturday 12 September 2026 for short films.

The Festival is international in nature and there are no restrictions on the age or profession of participants.

- How to enter

Each individual creator may submit multiple works for the Festival, provided they do not exceed 8 minutes in duration, including titles, and only one short film may be selected from among these.

As regards web series, each individual creator may submit multiple works; from these, two episodes will be selected, the combined duration of which must not exceed 16 minutes.

The creator (and/or a member of the cast or production team) must ensure their presence at the screening of their short film (or series) or provide a video or produce a video greeting (generally lasting between 30 seconds and 1 minute) in which the Muuh Film Festival is explicitly mentioned: otherwise, the film will be submitted as normal, but will be excluded from the subsequent voting stage and, consequently, from the awards ceremony.

Along with their entries, authors must submit the video message and the registration form, duly signed and completed in full.

- Jury and awards

The selection of short films to be screened during the festival will be made by the organising body.

or communicated via email/telephone to all authors by 12 August 2026 at the latest.

During the Festival, the jury will consist of members of the audience, who will be asked, at the end of each screening, to cast their vote in the following categories: "Best Short Film (or web series, where applicable)‘ and ’Best Director".

The jury’s decision shall be final.

The winners, announced at the end of each evening of the festival, will be awarded prizes specific to the venue of the event.
