Pentedattilo Film Festival is held every year in the unique ancient town of Pentedattilo, near Reggio Calabria. The village, defined by the nineteenth-century traveler Edward Lear "The strangest human dwelling place" is perched on a strange rock shaped as a giant hand, and it has recently experienced a cultural recovery that has made it one of the most significant destination for the spread of international short films. This year Pentedattilo Film Festival opens again to those insatiable travellers who explore unusual borders, dedicating them a 3 full time days of screenings, seminars, films, special events.
The PFF, born in 2006 by a group of young filmmakers and produced by 'Ram Film' and the 'Associazione Pro Pentedattilo' with the partnership of several bodies and agencies, aims to give visibility to the most recent production of short films and to foster ideas and artistic exchanges; whereas the awards are an encouragement to the authors who invade each year a place that represents an emblem of change and creative sharing.
