Short film festival

Welcome to our 60-second short film festival.

Can you imagine telling a story in just one minute? That's what we're looking for in this festival: creativity, wit, and originality in each of the short films.

The idea of creating this festival arose from the need to promote independent cinema and new forms of audiovisual expression. In a world where time is a precious commodity, one-minute short films are an ideal option for enjoying cinema quickly and effectively.

Additionally, this format allows anyone to tell their story, regardless of their level of experience in the film world. The goal of this festival is to give a voice to those who want to tell a story but often feel limited by duration and resources. In this festival, creativity is the limit, and large budgets are not [...]

PRESENTATION OF FESTIVAL

The International Imago Film Festival was born with the idea of ​​promoting cinema, especially independent cinema, by encouraging research and experimentation with cinematographic language.

The idea of ​​the festival was born from the meeting of IMAGO with the city of Civitella del Tronto, where the award-winning film "The right to happiness" by Claudio Rossi Massimi was made by IMAGO.

After the first two editions in the wonderful setting of Civitella del Tronto, the Festival has moved to the Municipality of Teramo with a broad cultural program, full of new features that go beyond national borders and that strengthens and highlights this fascinating bond.

The International Imago Film Festival will be all this and much more.
