The aim of the festival is to promote the circulation of short films by supporting young authors who, having no market available to them for the distribution of their works, can use the festival as an opportunity to present their films and make themselves known to the general public.

The Film Festival Opere Nuove is again forward looking. This year, at its 41th edition, it proposes a selection of films made by authors who really believe in this genres and dedicate themselves to the experimentation of this rapid and hermetic ”language” that expresses what is today our life-style, without forgetting the fascination and the pureness of the classical Italian film tradition.

This are the screenings for this program:
