Visioni Corte separates Italian and international short fiction while giving animation, stories centred on children and adolescents, and debut filmmakers their own competitions. Organised by the cultural association Il Sogno di Ulisse in southern Lazio, Italy, the festival dates back to 2012. Its programme includes documentaries within the fiction sections, an OperaPrima competition for Italian debut features, and Meridiani, a non-competitive focus on a different country.
The 15th edition dates are 14–21 November 2026 at Cinema Teatro Ariston in Gaeta. Alongside category prizes, the festival recognises individual filmmaking crafts and performances, with an audience award and a FEDIC cineclub award.
