Venice, Italy · Multiple structural red flags — exercise caution before submitting
Short Med_Cine is a short-film initiative in Venice created in 2025 as a ‘zero edition’ within the Ca’ Foscari Short Film Festival. It is notable for using cinema to communicate stories about rheumatic and other invisible diseases, bringing together medical, academic, and film communities through short films that blend personal narrative, social reflection, and advocacy.
