SOAR WITH US!

 

Milan Shorts Film Festival was born in 2023 from the minds of three young Italian filmmakers.

It branches into four annual events, the last of which will announce the winners of the first edition, who will be chosen from a shortlist composed of all the winners from previous seasons. The screenings of the winning projects will be held, for each edition, in Milan’s famous Cinema Multisala Colosseo. Approximately thirty days before the event, tickets will be made available in order to attend the ceremony.

We involve writers, directors, artists, critics and film experts from different parts of the world. We open up to magazines, creators and producers to offer our submitters the opportunity to share new projects and ideas.

CREATIVITY
A space where your short stories will be showcased through our website and social page. And, if you wish, in one of Europe's hottest magazines, VIEWTIES, with a space on the cover solely dedicated to you. We reward your CREATIVITY, guaranteeing immediate feedback just 72 h after your submission with a FREE SCORECARD.
INNOVATION
A space where we can grow together, becoming a community. A challenging and fun environment in which to compete. An opportunity to meet new people to broaden your horizons, talk about your experiences and passions. WE INNOVATE the concept of the festival, making it open to everyone, giving no room for preconceptions and making available at each event strong DISCOUNTS to take advantage of.
MOVEMENT
A space where, without setting yourself any limits, your projects will be analyzed by different minds and different eyes. A place of support for you and your work, where you can be sure that everything will be analyzed in detail, with care and passion, after careful discussions, without any hint of immobility or rigidity. Always in MOVEMENT, and always available through PUBLIC FEEDBACK or PRIVATE FEEDBACK services on your work.
