Cesate Short Film Fest è un concorso internazionale per cortometraggi, rivolto a registi e videomaker. Due le sezioni in concorso anche per l’ottava edizione: una dedicata ai film di fiction e una alle opere di animazione. La partecipazione è gratuita e le iscrizioni termineranno il 20 giugno.
Il festival è organizzato e promosso dall’ufficio Cultura e dalla biblioteca del Comune di Cesate, lanciato come sfida, non facile, a un territorio di provincia abituato a vivere la fagocitante vita culturale della metropoli milanese. Il festival ha raccolto consensi e partecipazioni di ottimo livello: dal 2010 a oggi sono giunti più di mille lavori, dall’Italia, dall’Europa, dagli Stati Uniti, dal Sudamerica. Abbiamo avuto come membri di giuria Maurizio Nichetti, Michelangelo Frammartino, Marco Bechis, Angela Finocchiaro, Marina Spada, Alina Marazzi, Raul Montanari, Barbara Sorrentini e altri personaggi del mondo della cultura; selezionato e premiato lavori di giovani registi o di autori esordienti, alcuni dei quali già stanno facendo parlare di sé.
Cesate Short Film Fest oltre a un concorso video che cerca talenti e nuove idee – capaci di animare con forze positive la nostra epoca – vuole essere l’occasione per offrire al pubblico, attraverso una carrellata di stili diversi e diversi punti di vista, una panoramica attenta, e nel contempo veloce, sulla continua evoluzione (o involuzione) della società, delle relazioni fra esseri umani, dei sentimenti. E inoltre, un’opportunità per osservare quanto le idee e le energie, spesso, si discostino dalle logiche della produzione cinematografica classica.

We are an annual independent short film festival based in Brussels, Belgium, from January 20 to 24, 2021. Every year, we select over 100 short films and invite more than 40 filmmakers from all around the world.
The festival has been running for 16 years now with increasing success. We screen mainly independent films, not specially trashy movies. we love originality and creativity. Cheapness and Beauty !
The idea for Courts Mais Trash originated from a lack of a proper platform for independent short films to be screened.
Films that fail to meet conservative cinematographic standards are mostly snubbed by festival programmers and legitimate audio-visual venues. Trash is often just perceived in the provocative sense of the word; shocking and equally alternative, political, cheap and offbeat… .
Every category of film will be projected, from experimental to animation, through video clips and documentaries. No genre is left unexploited. The shorts don’t have to be ‘trash’ per se, but we do encourage work that is ‘out there’, on the cusp of the cutting edge and stimulating to the spectators interests. To avoid any possible confusion: the screenings are adults only.
Do you wish to participate in the biggest blowout alternative, underground and independent cinema has to offer, then act now! What are you waiting for?
Submit your production for free in any of our categories.
Open submissions from May 27 to July 31, 2024 on Festhome, Click for festivals.You can also send your application to the email: fickuntakinte@gmail.co
