2021 EDITION

In 2019, we brought the Idea to life, with a first experimental edition. We received short films from all over the world and organized a Masterclass on Film and Archive and a CINENight.

In 2020, we set out to fully fulfill our Mission. The 2nd edition of CINENOVA featured the participation of student-filmmakers from 77 countries and the number of short films submitted more than quadrupled in relation to the year of the festival debut.

In 2021, in the midst of a pandemic context, CINENOVA received more than 1400 films from 92 countries. This third edition also marks the debut of the Expanded CINENOVA section, with the expo “Between the real and the image”, dedicated to expanded cinema and to taking the exhibition of young talent even further, beyond the university space.
