The programme for the 3rd edition will be made up of 70 short films from all over the world.

The titles selected come from 37 different countries and are divided into two sections:
50 will be competing for the prizes in the International Competition
20 films have been selected for the NEXT GEN award, the prize for the best short films from film schools all over the world.

“Don’t you notice anything different?” and naturally what is different is the hair that is now definitely short, or trimmed, or de-volumized. Let’s do it as well in this column, it’s the summer and for this digression on “short”, we will be trimming, thinning out, pruning and cutting, literally. Why is short hair still a symbol of change today, and even -  and I apologise for the ugly word - empowerment?

Once, films used to last an hour and a half, now on average they seem to be 2 hours and 40 m,inutes long; once, pop hits could last up to 6 minutes, now if they are 3 minutes long it’s surprising. Films today have become very long feature films and songs have become shorts.

We are looking for young enthusiasts to join the MAX3MIN volunteer team for the third edition of the Festival.

Siamo alla ricerca di giovani appassionati da inserire nel team dei volontari di MAX3MIN per la terza edizione del Festival.

Aspettando la terza edizione, una serie di appuntamenti estivi a Milano per rendere omaggio alla cultura del corto.

Instagram now is TikTok. Everything is a reel, a live, a funny video (but funny for who, for what?). It’s all these very invasive tunes, it’s all horrendous colours, horrendous graphics. I repeat: it’s all TikTok. But, as TikTok, it is also an extraordinary festival of short films.

The submissions for MAX3MIN 2023 - International Short Film Competition, NEXT GEN and Blackball professional section - are now closed.

And if the collections of essays so much in fashion now were nothing but small involuntary seasons of short films?

Extended deadline

International Competition & NEXT GEN

15th May 2023

It was a very long job - of production, of reservation, of reinterpretation - to arrive at the (very) short film which, in three minutes, explains everything to us.

Late deadline
