Afrodite Shorts is a short film festival with live screenings in Rome, organised by Donne nell’Audiovisivo-Women in Film Italy, the ITALIAN Chapter of WIF born in 1996, which aims to promote and celebrate women working in the audiovisual field. The festival’s objective is to foster and scout young women filmmakers in the context of short films where they can express their talent, dreams and reality as storytellers. Short and brave, new and original are the qualities the Association and the Jury are looking for in the international landscape of short films but especially in the Italian one. The date of the Festival is the first week of December. Exact dates will follow shortly.
