Overview
Il Festival di corti in riva al mare che porta il cinema dove non c'è. Nato per gioco nel 1996, Videocorto Nettuno è diventato uno dei festival di cortometraggi più longevi d'Italia. Le quattro serate di Festival, oltre alle proiezioni dei corti in concorso (e non), sono arricchite da esibizioni musicali, interventi dei cortisti, della Giuria, e degli Ospiti d'onore, all'interno della magica location dello stabilimento balneare Pro Loco Nettuno. Da non dimenticare i Salotti pomeridiani del Festival, sede di interviste, risate, anticipazioni e commenti sui corti. La Giuria nel corso degli anni ha potuto vantare grandi nomi dal mondo dello spettacolo, tra cui Antonio Catania, Massimiliano Bruno, Camilla Filippi, Daria D'Antonio, Carlotta Natoli, Andrea Bosca, Pier Paolo Piccioli, Luca Lucini, Pino Quartullo, Tiziana Foschi, Carlo Giuliano e Ludovico Tersigni. Nell'albo d'oro dei registi in concorso Sydney Sibilia, Francesco Prisco e Alessandro Aronadio.

A big thank you for screening my short film WAVESWATERWALL in the section SGUARDI E VSIONI in the magical "Forte Sangallo"! I am very sorry that I could not attend the Festival Videocorto NETTUNO and I thank you for the fast communication and the excellent support.

Festival organizzato in maniera eccellente, location fantastica. Grande professionalità da parte dei direttori artistici e passione sfrenata per il cinema. Uno dei punti di riferimento per il Corto in Italia.
