About the foundation

SAC — Accordi @ Disaccordi — International Short Film Festival is a peripatetic cinematic event that takes its name from the Italian phrase for 'chords and discords,' signaling a curatorial commitment to dissonance and harmony in equal measure. Founded as a roving platform without fixed geographic anchor, the festival has cultivated a reputation for programming short-form cinema that resists easy categorization, favoring work that operates at the edges of narrative, documentary, and experimental traditions. Its institutional ethos is one of deliberate eclecticism: rather than imposing a single thematic throughline, SAC treats each edition as a provisional constellation of voices, often juxtaposing emerging filmmakers with established artists whose work challenges conventional form.

Application guidance

Artists should approach SAC with an awareness of its thematic openness and its preference for work that engages with tension—formal, political, or sonic. The festival's title suggests that pieces operating in registers of contradiction or unresolved dialogue are especially welcome. Given its global, non-fixed location, applicants should ensure their submissions are technically self-sufficient and not reliant on site-specific installation. Short films of any genre are considered, but the selection committee tends to favor works under 30 minutes that demonstrate a distinct authorial voice. There is no stated fee waiver policy, and deadlines are typically announced via the festival's website and social channels; interested filmmakers should monitor these closely as the festival's peripatetic structure can lead to irregular call cycles.
