Magma 2015

International Competition

International Competition

The International Short Film Competition is the main event of the Festival. Over the last few editions, Associazione Culturale Scarti has chosen to show the festival audience a selection of short films which, while highlighting current expressive filmmaking, have been able to recount current political events, underline social and human urgencies and predict future scenarios. 
No longer just short films, but also a cross section of cinema reflecting the thousand contaminations of the society we live in.

The Call for Entries is announced each year between March and April
