Stories of sea, life, and cinema.

At the Corto e Cultura Film Festival, cinema comes alive among the ancient walls of Manfredonia and the Gargano sea: short films, documentaries, animations and screenplays that tell stories of the world, emotions, and people—with poetry, humor, and heart..

Every screening is a journey: stories of life, love, challenges, dreams, and landscapes that speak about us. A festival where the audience is not a passive spectator, but a protagonist: they applaud, reflect, laugh, and decide the Audience Award.


The competition includes several sections:

Narrative Shorts – life stories, emotions, and small and great gestures that reveal the human experience.

Short Documentaries – authentic perspectives on the world, blending reality and poetry.

There are no content limits set for participation in the festival: all of History will be the subject of the works presented.

The jury will reserve the right to select the works to be screened in the event that the number of works presented [...]
