Bref International Short Film Festival is the first festival dedicated to short films in Valle d'Aosta regione (Italy).
The idea of the festival is not only to be a showcase for the best contemporary films and new authors, but has also many special programs in order to put the attention on stories that matters. Inclusivity, human and civil rights, transfeminism, antifascism and resistance are themes that will have a lot of space both in the competition and in the special programs.
We accept all kind of shorts: fiction, animation and documentaries.
The festival will have several programs but all films will compete for all awards (except for the SAVT award that is tied to the theme of labour rights)
Set in Valle d'Aosta, a region at the border with Switzerland and France, the festival have also a strong intention to create bridges with those countries in an Industry section and with a special francophone program.
