24th European Film Festival & Emidio Greco Award

The Italian Short Film Centre at the 24th Festival del Cinema Europeo

EMIDIO GRECO AWARD – XI EDITION

Lecce | November, 11-18, 2023

The Italian Short Film Centre is, once again this year, a partner of the Lecce European Film Festival. The festival, directed by Alberto La Monica, is an open window on European production, on contemporary and historical Italian cinema, and, through the ‘Puglia Show’ section, curated by Luigi La Monica, on the rich local production of short films. Italian Short Film Center has a dual role in the festival:

  • The jury of the “Puglia Show” section will select the “Centro Nazionale del Cortometraggio” award, which includes the inclusion of the winning short film in the Centre’s programs;
  • For the tenth time, the “Emidio Greco” award will be presented by the Italian Short Film Center in agreement with the Greco family, in memory of the late director, a great friend of the festival.

Ten films from 2022-2023 by Italian directors under the age of 35, chosen by the Italian Short Film Center, will compete for the “Emidio Greco” award, which will be screened during the festival:

  • Battima di Federico Demattè
  • Faccia di cuscino di Saverio Cappiello
  • Foto di Gruppo di Tommaso Frangini
  • Happy New Year, Jim di Andrea Gatopoulos
