Short Weekend film festival

It's an international short film festival that stands out for its socially oriented themes.
The short films participating in this festival have only one admission category related to social and solidarity themes. Since 2018, we've been using the FilmFreeway platform or direct submission.

In all these editions, the awarded short film categories have been:

In the editions from 2018 to June 2015, we received more than 2,300 short films from approximately 40 countries around the world. The final of the December 2025 edition will be held in Lecce on Tuesday, December 30th at the Biblioteca Ogni Bene, former Augustinian Convent, while in the June 2025 edition, the winners were:
