MASO, the new international and inclusive programme of the IDM Film Commission South Tyrol and the Bolzano Film Festival Bozen to support the production of short films, was launched during the Industry Days of the Bolzano Film Festival Bozen (BFFB).

This professional development program for filmmakers from all over the world, was initiated by IDM Film Commission Südtirol, the Bolzano Film Festival Bozen BFFB, the Cultural Departments of the Autonomous Province of Bozen-Bolzano and other European partners such as the Talents and Short Film Market, the Nordnorsk Filmsenter and FilmCamp Norway.

Enrico Vannucci, who is in charge of programming the short film selection at the Locarno Film Festival, is responsible for the content of MASO #1. “The short film is an art form in its own right. It is real cinema and the sector has evolved considerably in many ways over time. There are many more productions today, but at the same time there are also more festivals and online platforms just for short films,” emphasizes Enrico Vannucci.

The MASO professional development programme is aimed at aspiring talents as well as professionals.

Particular attention will be paid to reaching filmmakers from underrepresented social groups and encouraging them to participate. By supporting these groups with a strong artistic voice, the aim is to make the world of film and television more inclusive, colorful, and diverse.
