Naples hosts 23rd edition of Accordi @ Disaccordi short film festival

The 23rd edition of the Accordi @ Disaccordi International Short Film Festival is scheduled to take place in Naples, Italy, from November 9 to 15, 2026. Artistically directed by Pietro Pizzimento, the event is organized by the Movies Event association with support from the Campania Region.

The festival program features 116 short films, including documentaries, animated films, and experimental works, representing 32 nations. These selections were chosen from 4,516 submissions sent from 125 countries. The event includes six competition categories: international, national, Campania Region, documentaries, short animated films, and environmental themes, alongside a “Cortissimi” section.

Special programming includes a non-competitive section for experimental films from countries such as the United States, Germany, France, Great Britain, and Spain, as well as a focus on Italian-Canadian cinema curated by the Italian Contemporary Film Festival. A selection of Italian short films from this festival will be showcased in Canada in March 2027.

The festival will be held at the Corte dell’Arte di FOQUS (Fondazione Quartieri Spagnoli) in the Montecalvario district. Admission is free, and the event will conclude on November 15 with an awards ceremony.
