Every spring, Cortina d’Ampezzo becomes a refined cinematic stage thanks to Cortinametraggio, the festival dedicated to celebrating the very best of Italian short films.

Founded in the 1990s by Maddalena Mayneri, Cortinametraggio is today the leading and most prestigious short film festival in Italy. Over the years, it has established itself as a benchmark for directors, actors and emerging talents, becoming a key cultural event on the national and international film scene.

Screenings, premieres and meetings with filmmakers animate the centre of Cortina, welcoming industry professionals, guests and an international audience in a perfect balance of art, glamour and alpine lifestyle.

Cortinametraggio offers a unique way to experience the mountains: not only nature and sport, but also culture, social life and high-quality entertainment. Festival days unfold between strolls along Corso Italia, evening events and film screenings, all set within an elegant and relaxed atmosphere.

Cortinametraggio is the ideal event for those who appreciate carefully curated experiences and wish to enrich their stay with selected cultural highlights, without giving up the charm of the Dolomites and the excellence of Cortina’s hospitality.

A festival that tells cinema through short stories, yet leaves a lasting and memorable impression—just like Cortina itself.
