The city of San Giovanni A Piro - fraction of Scario, Il Varco and Aedon, are proud to announce the third edition of an event that will take place during the yearly celebrations of the 2021 Autumn Equinox, one of the biggest event in the south of Campania (Italy), involving the towns of Bosco, Scario and San Giovanni a Piro with a series of concerts, exhibitions and art events.
The event had the privilege of having the italian singer and songwriter Francesco De Gregori, Nina Zilli and Luca Barbarossa among others on Scario's Harbour, with crowds of 20.000 people to attend the event in the past years. Autumn Equinox has included Scario Short Film Festival in its programming. Our screenings saw more than 600 people attending in the main square of the city plus an uncountable number of passerbys on the most populated street of the city during the summer nights.

We’re developing a bigger third edition thanks to the collaboration with the institutions, planning to show a larger number of quality films in a three-days long event, with a new hybrid format both online and offline:
We are hosting four seasonal calls that will end with an online screening on Twitch, selected by our artistic director. The winning films will qualify for the outdoor screening in the main square of Scario in the summer of 2021 and will compete for the victory of the various prizes, including the cash prize offered by the citizens of Scario.
Three days of cinema with the best shorts received through this call for entries that we'll select from all over the world, thanks to the collaboration with the staff from cultural associations Il Varco and Aedon. The artistic director is 𝗘𝗹𝗶𝗼 𝗗𝗶 𝗣𝗮𝗰𝗲, director and filmmaker whose work has been featured in 𝗩𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗙𝗶𝗹𝗺 𝗙𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗮𝗹.
