In addition, this year, given that in July there are no conditions for a normal festival, in short, we are going for a long time, so I decided to add the “short films”. We add a competition entirely dedicated to them, commonly called “shorts”, with a prize for the Best Film that will participate in this section. There will be a selection committee which includes directors, actors, professional festival selectors, journalists. The last 5 films will be seen by the official Jury of the Festival which will decide the winner ”.
