AmiCorti International Film Festival – 8th Edition
June 2–7, 2026 | Roccaraso (AQ), Italy

Founded in 2019, the AmiCorti International Film Festival is an independent and socially engaged event that celebrates its 8th edition in 2026 in the beautiful mountain setting of Roccaraso, Italy, hosted at the historic Cinema Roma.

Each year, the festival becomes a platform for auteur and independent films that tackle urgent and universal themes such as human rights, social justice, environmental sustainability, inclusion, and collective memory.

We welcome short films, feature films, documentaries, animated films, and music videos from all over the world—works that spark reflection, promote intercultural dialogue, and inspire social transformation through the universal language of cinema.

What the festival offers:
Public screenings at Cinema Roma
Meetings with directors and professionals at Auditorium Roccaraso
Cinema Education workshops for students and young filmmakers
Round tables, thematic panels, and masterclasses

Official awards ceremonies
Networking opportunities, press visibility, and distribution contacts
Each year, AmiCorti gathers a vibrant international community of filmmakers, producers, educators, activists, and students, all committed to using cinema as a tool for cultural and social change.

Why participate?

AmiCorti is more than a festival – it’s a cultural movement that celebrates authentic, independent, and conscious cinema. We invite all filmmakers who believe in the transformative power of film to submit their work and join our artistic community.

Curta O Gênero

Fortaleza, Brazil


The AX International Audiovisual Short Film Show aims to disseminate short films (documentaries, fiction, animations and experimental) for all ages, children and adolescents, young people and adults, which present as a central or relevant element such as gender relations and sexualities. Thus, short films that show intertwining between gender and sexualities with other markers such as social class, race and ethnicity, generation, disability, migration, are very welcome.
The Show also includes a multitude of themes that can cross issues such as life trajectories, violence against women, masculinities, fatherhood, motherhood, eroticism, corporeality, LGBTQIAphobias, sexual exploitation, sexual and reproductive rights and processes of resistance and struggle of women and subject LGBTQIA +, as well as a multitude of fields of sociopolitical life such as the State, capital, coloniality, politics, human rights, education, work, health, culture, public policies, among others.
In recent editions, many short films have been produced and selected that portray more general themes, of collective interest, in the field, for example, of indigenous rights, land, housing or the defense of democracy. So this year, realizing that such productions only enrich, densify and pluralize our Curta o Gênero, we formally opened for submissions of short films of this nature, which will be produced in specials.

Moscow International Film Festival (MIFF) is one of the oldest world film forums (the second after the Venice Film Festival). The Moscow International Film Festival has been leading its history since 1935. Then the chairman of the jury was Sergey Eisenstein, and the film Chapaev opened the first festival. However, in subsequent years the festival was not held regularly. Therefore, the Moscow International Film Festival has officially counted down since 1959, when it was renewed and turned into a regular event - it was carried out over odd years, alternating with the Karlovy Vary Film Festival. In 1999 MIFF became an annual event.
