The Caorle Independent Film Festival (CIFF), now in its eighth edition, is a cultural event held annually in the beautiful town of Caorle, the little Venice.
The Festival was born from the initiative of the Caorle Film Association with the aim of creating an international event dedicated to filmmakers from all over the world and to enhance that niche of artists who create and produce their works without the help of a major production company: independent cinema.
The Festival stands out for its welcoming and family-friendly atmosphere, designed to offer a unique experience for both participants and visitors.
The 75 works selected, divided between feature films, short films, documentaries, web series, pilot episodes, and animated films, will be screened in the halls of the Centro Culturale Andrea Bafile, located in the historic center of Caorle, specially transformed into screening rooms.
One of the fundamental aspects of the event is its cultural dimension, which allows for exploration and immersion in a wide range of realities told through cinematic language. Thanks to the selection of works from around the world, the audience has the opportunity to discover not only stories and traditions from different countries but also the talent and creativity of the authors contributing to the artistic richness of the event.
Over the years, the Festival has established itself as a meeting place for cultural exchange, as well as a platform where narratives, visions, and artistic sensitivities from different contexts are brought to light. In addition to fiction, the festival pays particular attention to issues of great social relevance, such as identity and gender equality, bullying, degenerative diseases, the fight against all forms of discrimination and racial hatred, as well as environmental protection and historical memory.
The CIFF is structured to always prioritize all participating competitors in a festival environment with an international flavor. Even the visitors themselves, besides being able to attend all screenings for free, become an integral part of the festival by actively participating in the collateral activities.
