Pinerolo is once again set to become the capital of short films with the latest edition of the PIFF – Pinerolo Film Festival.
Behind this year’s packed programme lies an impressive and meticulous selection process carried out by the artistic committee: from over 350 entries received from all over the world, around 90 short films of the very highest standard were shortlisted, from which the 40 finalist short films and documentaries were chosen to be screened on the big screen during the festival.
The central theme and motto of this year’s festival is ‘Positive Perspectives’: whilst tackling complex and at times dramatic subjects — ranging from emotions (friendship, love in all its forms, family ties) to social challenges (femicide, war, integration, poverty, undeclared work), right through to health, education, bullying and our relationship with technology — the selected works leave plenty of room for humour, light-heartedness and irony.
The festival’s aim is precisely to convey, through cinema, a message of confidence, resilience and hope for the future.
Particularly exciting will be the inclusion of numerous films featuring children and young actors, who offer fresh, moving and surprising perspectives.
An unmissable event for all film enthusiasts, local residents and visitors wishing to enjoy an intense, moving and thought-provoking cultural experience.
40 films shown at the Museo del Mutuo Soccorso and the Teatro del Lavoro.
