The internationally recognised CortoNero competition is currently open for global short film submissions.

Please note that all films must be subtitled in, or filmed in, Italian.

The competition itself was established in 2008 and takes place annually in Naples. On their FilmFreeway page, the festival team explain that their goal “is to find new ways of investigating and experimenting ideas for noir and mystery.”

Submissions are accepted in a number of categories:

  • Black Comedy
  • Noir
  • Detective Stories
  • Crime
  • Thriller
  • Horror

So if writing dark comedy is your jam, then you may well want to check this festival out! For the full festival details, and to apply, you can check out the festival’s FilmFreeway page.

Applications close on 19th November 2022.
