Cultural Association, whose purpose is to make the town of Savigliano a showcase of

opportunity to express their talent and passion.
DATES AND LOCATION
The fourth Edition of Cortocircuito – Savigliano Film Festival will take place in Savigliano
in October 2030, covering seven days.
SECTIONS
The Festival is articulated in two sections:
General Section: free theme short films.
“Comedian Rhapsody”: thematic section dedicated to the short films inspired by the theme of the year, motivated by the following description.
"Thematic section created mainly for comedies and comic works.
It is aimed at short films focused on one or more sides of the human comedy: from the “joie de vivre” to the Italian-style Comedy, passing through the clown figure.
A breath of fresh air to get out of this gloomy period and rediscover the lightheartedness of the circus and the kaleidoscopic figure of the comedian, exactly as seen in the bittersweet comedies of the postwar Italian cinema. It’s a way to celebrate the centenary of the birth of two friends and masters of that kind of art: Federico Fellini and Alberto Sordi."
