The festival has distinguished itself as a new, young and innovative platform for the screening and discussion of short films, capable of becoming a reference point for the public and all film enthusiasts in the area and beyond.
One of the fundamental goals of the festival is to create moments of meeting with authors and professionals in order to share ideas, stories, reflections and discover the secrets behind the creation of their works. It is intended to bring to our territory a moment of dialogue with the public that can also be an opportunity to deepen knowledge of the technical elements of the language of short film and film language in general, as well as encourage the production of new projects in our territory.
For the authors and emerging filmmakers who will participate, it will be an opportunity to be able to talk and tell about the genesis of their works and their idea of cinema. There is an increasing need to give voice to young authors who with hard work and sacrifice manage to realize their works; we want to offer them a platform where they can present themselves and make themselves known.
Incanto Film Festival is also a valuable opportunity for the audience to discover new authors, and the direct interaction between authors and viewers is an opportunity that will allow the audience to better understand the creative process behind the short films; ample space will be devoted to the audience meeting with the authors in order to exchange opinions and feedback. This connection enriches the filmmaking experience, stimulating discussion and participation.
In addition to the screenings, the festival will particularly include a busy series of meetings with the authors, jurors and other guests of the event; a networking platform that can create a network of contacts and a network of collaborations that will surely continue after the festival.
In addition, the festival wants to make the viewer's participation as active as possible and, precisely for this reason, an Audience Award will also be given, which the audience in the auditorium will have to decree.
