TSFM was founded in 2016 as an international market dedicated primarily to the short film industry and all areas surrounding it. The goal of TSFM is to enhance the role of short film with attention to both the individual project and the industry as a whole, while also enabling the growth of new filmmakers and talent.
Since 2016, six on-site editions and one online edition have been organized. In 2021, TSFM was held in a hybrid form (online and in-person): 451 accredited (including 201 foreigners, 48 countries represented, 120 onsite appointments, and about 574 shorts in the Video Library from 75 countries including 179 first works.
TSFM vol.7 will take place in hybrid guise again this year: from Nov. 27-30 in person in Turin and from Dec. 1-4 online. It will be an edition full of events, pitch sessions, lectures, screenings, meetings and workshops about which TSFM will provide more details in the coming months.
