Blog: Film festivals

ObiettivoCorto is one of the sections of the iCINEMA Film Festival, it is an international short film competition reserved for all directors who intend to participate with one or more works made exclusively with Smartphone devices and action cameras. The competing sections are, best international short, best Italian short (or dialectal language), best documentary (open to all). Thanks to the collaboration with the "Alma Mater" University of Bologna, department of cinema, television and multimedia arts and the department of art, music and entertainment, DAMS, we have added two sections to the main sections, one of which is dedicated exclusively to young people up to 25 years (best young short - CITEM award) and a section dedicated to experimental and innovative shorts (DAMS award), both sections are voted by juries of young students from the University of Bologna. The main jury will be composed of university and academic professors, television writers, directors and actors. The festival includes a special section dedicated to junior high and high school children (2022). The idea, which comes from a group of people who love the cinematographic arts, intends to bring together, thanks to the use of a tool such as a smartphone or action camera, devices now owned by everyone, people and in particular young people world of cinema offering the opportunity to compete and try their hand at making short films.
