Three days of film screenings, meetings and award ceremonies: the MalatestaShort Film Festival brings in Cesena the variety and imagination typical of short films.
Film enthusiasts have the chance to discover new talents!
47 short films from 55 countries have been selected, competing in three categories: - Best Animation - Best Fiction - Best Documentary. We will first present the works of local directors, then we will show their short film followed by an interview.
