About Cortintelvi

Cortintelvi is the international festival dedicated to short films, documentaries, and animated films that animates Como, the Intelvi Valley, and Tremezzina every year. A widespread review that brings short cinema to evocative locations in the Larian territory, from Villa Bernasconi to the halls and spaces of the valley, with screenings, previews, and meetings distributed between spring and summer. A precious opportunity to discover the works of Italian and international authors, while at the same time enhancing the cultural and landscape heritage of the Intelvi Valley and Lake Como.

Short films on Lake Como

Cortintelvi is an international festival dedicated to short films, documentaries, and animation, which makes the Larian territory its home. The review is widespread: screenings and meetings are distributed between Como, the Intelvi Valley, and Tremezzina, bringing cinema to evocative spaces such as Villa Bernasconi and the valley's halls.

A review that grows

Born to promote short cinema and the territory, Cortintelvi has grown edition after edition, establishing itself as one of the most important cultural events in the Intelvi Valley. Every year, the festival selects works by Italian and international authors, offering the public a rich and varied program, capable of spanning different genres, languages, and themes.

Cinema and territory

The strength of Cortintelvi lies in the link between cinema and the places that host it: screening short films and documentaries in spaces of Larian heritage means combining the discovery of the works with that of the territory, from Lake Como to the suggestive inland valleys. A formula that makes the festival a true 'cultural treasure' of the valley, in the province of Como.
