Locarno Film Festival turned 75 last August. The festival has long been a friendly place for short film creators, serving as a platform to present their films, and offering a crowded audience with whom to share their personal gaze. Pardi di Domani (Leopards of Tomorrow) is the historical name of the section dedicated to short films. The selection spans all genres, while the titles featured in this programme represent a cross-section of what the Pardi di Domani committee aims for: discovering what we believe to be the best, most surprising cinematic expressions of contemporary short filmmaking today.
