2023 Edition
Since its first edition, all Corto e Fieno’s screening is free of charge. Everybody can help us supporting the festival through contribution or buying a bag, a gadget or a poster.
Every movie is in original language subtitled in Italian and, if written, in English (Eng Sub).
The artist Paolo Metaldi realized the poser for the 2023 edition.
La Sigla
La locandina 2020 è firmata dall’illustratore Luca Di Sciullo (www.lucadisciullo.com), che ha disegnato e animato anche la sigla dell’undicesima edizione.
Ho sempre sentito il mondo rurale come molto vicino a me. Mio nonno, un autentico contadino, scandiva le stagioni con i lavori da fare in campagna. Ogni tanto da piccolo andavo ad aiutarlo e vivevo quei momenti come se fossi all’interno di un film di cui lui era il protagonista. Mi portava a liberare le viti dalle erbacce, a dar l’acqua alle piante, a raccogliere le mele. Di quei momenti ricordo soprattutto gli odori: quello della terra appena arata, delle mele mature e l’inconfondibile profumo del Fiat 505c. Corto e Fieno per me sono due agricoltori, due amici, che al termine di una stancante giornata di lavoro nei campi riposano le braccia e illuminati dal maxischermo si godono un film nella frescura di una serata autunnale.

Awarded Films
Moving between dream and memory, the director poetically renders the powerful protagonist at the center of the film, taking the viewer back to a time long gone.
“Varken (Pig)” by Jorn Leeuwerink
For rendering the consequences of exploitation of the planet, through a non-trivial metaphor and striking use of characters/animals and using caustic irony and complex storytelling, the film shows man’s persistence in pursuing bad choices.
“Sorta Nostra” by Michele Sammarco
A tale that starts from a personal story to open a glimpse into a world that could die if not cared for with love.
Unexpected choice of the counter-field in the dialogue scenes, helping to create a poetic and evocative montage.
Terra e polvere (Yin Ru Chen Yan) di Li Ruijun
Innesti by Sandro Bozzolo
A powerful story, everything that Asilo Bianco has been trying to do on the ground for 18 years is here: a family that is the community and sustains the lifeblood that makes people feel good, with the daily commitment and effort of being together.
For painting an unexpected and ironic relationship, showing how the (cumbersome) presence of an animal, can change a person’s life.
Tufo by Victoria Musci
For the civic value of a courageous project that tells the story of a man who is an example of integrity and resistance against the Mafia.
