The festival
Humor as a Lens on the Present
Two Categories, One Vision
Cinema and new media are not separate worlds, but languages in dialogue. Cinesorriso places them on the same level, recognizing in humor a common ground capable of crossing generations, platforms and different expressive forms.
Cinema
The Cinema section presents a selection of works that interpret humor as a high form of storytelling. Films capable of combining lightness and depth, irony and social observation, placing at the center authors and performers who portray the present with a critical and human gaze.
New Media
The New Media section explores the new expressions of humor born on digital platforms. Creators, authors and performers who experiment with agile, immediate and interactive languages, redefining the relationship with the audience. Not an alternative to cinema, but a natural extension of humorous storytelling.
Why Cinesorriso?
The Guidance and Voices of Cinesorriso
