The International Boat of Culture Festival presents its Short Film Fest, with the aim of raising awareness of the different aspects of diversity.
With the motto “Sail. Explore. Create – The taste of Diversity”, our festival focal point is to gather voices from all over the world talking about multiculturalism through short films.
What is the taste of Diversity?
Does it taste sweet? bitter? or is it a taste that changes throughout the time, context, and other elements?
The concept of diversity of our festival is wide and includes all forms of life and expression.
We accept all themes and genres, taking into account the limitation of lenght per short.
