SHORT FILM FESTIVAL
Incanto Short Film Festival nasce nel Gennaio 2023 da 3 ragazzi studiosi e professionisti cinematografici con l’idea di promuovere il cinema - formato cortometraggio - a 360° offrendo, grazie al contributo degli autori presenti in sala, le chiavi di lettura delle opere proiettate: da come nasce un film a come si arriva alla distribuzione; sarà uno spazio importante per far conoscere i registi, anche emergenti. La prima edizione è stata un successo, ci supereremo con la seconda!
