About the event

Dieciminuti Film Festival, was created in 2005 by IndieGesta. It was able to quickly become one of the events dedicated to short films most important in Italy.

The Festival, whose first 15 editions attended by more than 14,800 short films involving a total of nearly 17,000 spectators, is structured in various competitive sections: Official Selection (for short films up to 10 minutes released after the 1st of January 2020), Extralarge ( for shorts between 10 and 15 minutes released after the 1st of January 2020) Animations (animations for up to 10 minutes released after the 1st of January 2020), Doc10 (documentaries for up to 10 minutes released after the 1st of January 2020), Panorama Italia (for short films up to 10 minutes released by Italian students of Schools of Cinema after the 1st of January 2020).

At the Competitive sections, joins the Dieciminuti Academy, a school of cinema that brings young people of our province to create from scratch a short fiction or animation. The thing that is unique about the festival on the national scene is to be a real school for young people who want to explore the world of cinema. It ‘s also very much appreciated the Section Esplorazioni, which allows viewers to get in touch with the short film coming from a different country each year. During last years, the festival has hosted the short unpublished masters of Japanese animation by Studio Ghibli, directed by Hayao Miyazaki, the animated short films of the Tehran Film Festival, the short films of Georges Méliès, the avantguardes, the web-series, spanish short films.
