  • Festival Description:

    Pentedattilo Film Festival is held every year in the unique ancient town of Pentedattilo, near Reggio Calabria. The village, defined by the nineteenth-century traveler Edward Lear "The strangest human dwelling place" is perched on a strange rock shaped as a giant hand, and it has recently experienced a cultural recovery that has made it a significant destination for the spread of international short films. Each year Pentedattilo Film Festival opens anew to those insatiable travelers seeking to explore unusual borders, immersing them in 3 full time days of screenings, seminars, films, and special events.

    The PFF, born in 2006 by a group of young filmmakers and produced by 'Ram Film' and the 'Associazione Pro Pentedattilo' with the partnership of several bodies and agencies, aims to give visibility to the most recent production of short films and to foster ideas and artistic exchanges; whereas the awards are an encouragement to the authors who invade each year a place that represents an emblem of change and creative sharing.

    The Festival is divided into several sections, including:

    Territorio in movimento (Territory on the move) – short films competition without limitations about the topic. These works may last no longer than 30 minutes.

    Corto Giovani (Youth) – section for first films and authors that in 2011 are younger than 28 years old. These works may last no longer than 15 minutes.

    Corto donna (Women) – section dedicated to female directors and to short films about women. These works may last no longer than 30 minutes.

    Corto animato (Animation) – animated short films competition. These works may last no longer than 20 minutes.

    Each short film can be submitted just in one section.
