Oltrecorto

When the short film format is not enough, and you want to watch more, remember this word: Oltrecorto. It is Torino Short Film Market’s pitching session dedicated to feature film and television series projects, inspired by an already existing and released short film. We believe that a solid and powerful short film can become, in some cases at least, an equally (if not more) interesting feature film or television series.

Following the screenings of their respective short films, selected participants will have five minutes to pitch their project to an audience of film professionals. Selected participants will have five minutes to pitch their project to an audience of film professionals. Following the pitch session, participants will attend a series of one-on-one meetings with industry professionals scheduled by the TSFM team. Oltrecorto is exclusively dedicated to creative teams composed by directors, screenwriters and/or producers, from any country of the world, that are in need of development support for completing the submitted projects. A diversified audience of cinema professionals — commissioning editors, buyers, distributors, festival representatives, directors, producers, and film institutions — will provide feedback to the selected projects.
