Who we are

Balóss Milan Film Festival is a festival dedicated to short films made by children and students in school and workshop settings.

The goal is to promote cinema as an educational and pedagogical tool by giving visibility to projects that would not otherwise have theatrical distribution as well as to establish a network between various organizations involved in media education.

The festival jury is composed also of young students from primary and secondary schools who are involved in cinema workshops.

The Festival competition is dedicated to national and international short films, divided into two categories: Kids for young authors aged 8 to 13 and Teen for young authors aged 14 to 20. Parallel to the screenings, seminars on cinematographic language are held in collaboration with the Bicocca State University of Milan, and meetings and workshops are held for young people.

The Balóss Milan Film Festival is dedicated to director Ermanno Olmi, who loved making films with kids and non-professional actors for the great authenticity they knew how to bring in front of the camera. The festival was created by Circonvalla Film, an association that produces films and documentaries and organizes cinema workshops at school for children.
