Concorso Pardi di domani

Dedicated to revealing young talent, the Concorso Pardi di domani (Leopards of Tomorrow - Short Film Competitions) welcomed the very first films made by Fatih Akin, Barbara Albert, Paul Thomas Anderson, Laurent Cantet, François Ozon, Andrea Staka and so many others. Open to short films (up to 40 minutes) by directors who have not yet made feature films, the section features two competitions: one is international, the other is devoted to films by young Swiss filmmakers (first prize for each competition: 10,000 CHF, offered by SRG SSR and Swiss Life respectively).

The winning films in both competitions are eligible for pre-selection by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' Short Films Awards (Oscars©). European short films selected in the Concorso Pardi di domani will also compete for a nomination to the European Short Film Awards.

The 2011 program of the Pardi di domani will be announced during the Festival's official press conference on July 13th, 2011.
