A Special program by Daniela Manzolli
“Francesco Pasinetti” VideoContest at the Ca’ Foscari Short Film Festival
Just like every year, our partnership with the “Francesco Pasinetti” Video Competition proceeds, and will begin with an introduction of last year’s winners. The Pasinetti Video Competition is now at its 17th edition and is chaired by Anna Ponti, directed by Michaela Nardin and curated by Daniela Manzolli.
The Festival confirms itself as a cornerstone for aspiring authors as well as for well-established professionals within the Venetian film sector; this furthermore strengthens the already existing close bond between the Festival and the territory, its environment and culture. This year the competition, which aims to be inclusive and open to independent and experimental artists as well as to aspirant professional directors, shows a particular focus on short videos about social, cultural and environmental issues, represented even through the documentary genre, in order to highlight the bound with the city of Venice.
Therefore, also for this year’s edition, the partnership with the Municipality of Venice, Murano and Burano is confirmed, rapresented by the President Giovanni Andrea Martini; there is going to be a prize assigned to the videos that reproduce at their best the beauty and fragility of the city.
