At the Corto e Cultura Film Festival, cinema comes alive among the ancient walls of Manfredonia and the Gargano sea: shorts and documentaries that tell stories of the world, emotions, and people—with poetry, humor, and heart.
Every screening is a journey: stories of life, love, challenges, dreams, and landscapes that speak about us. A festival where the audience is not a passive spectator, but a protagonist: they applaud, reflect, laugh, and decide the Audience Award.
The competition includes several sections:
Narrative Shorts – life stories, emotions, and small and great gestures that reveal the human experience.
Short Documentaries – authentic perspectives on the world, blending reality and poetry.
Environmental / Green – ecology, sustainability, territory, climate change.
Territorial / Local – works connected to the festival’s territory.
Animations – imagination and creativity to explore social and cultural themes.
Debut Works – innovative, experimental pieces dedicated to emerging talents.
