Orlando Shorts is the festival of queer short films selected by a group of young people under 25 from different realities and associations of the territory. The project, now in its third edition, sees this year a double modality: the short films will be presented in theatres during the days of the Festival, one every evening, and online for free on the Vimeo page of the Festival ORLANDO from 13 to 18 May, on the occasion of the International Day against homo-lesbo-bi-transfobia.

 

The five films have been selected thanks to a mutual exchange and the contribution of plural viewpoints and sensibilities, trying to reflect a varied queer world rooted in the multiplicity of everyday life.
