The Concorso Cineasti del presente offers a selection of first and second feature films, mostly world premieres, directed by emerging global talents. It’s the place devoted to the discovery of tomorrow’s cinema, which deserves to be supported beyond all genre distinctions. Besides the traditional Pardo d’oro and the best director award, the Concorso Cineasti del presente also offers prizes for the best actor and actress.
