Under The Stars International Film Festival
Emerging or unverified festival
Under The Stars International Film Festival is an annual international film event based in Bari, Italy, that screens selected work once a year at a live event. It is notable for welcoming local, national, and international submissions and for using industry specialists and a jury to evaluate films across categories such as short film, short documentary, feature film, and student work, making it a small but structured platform for emerging and independent cinema.[1][3]
