ABOUT

THE HISTORY OF THE SHORT FILM MARKET

ShorTO Film Market is the industry event dedicated to the short film ecosystem, organized by the Italian Short Film Center from 2016.

Taking place in the context of TFI Torino Film Industry 8, the 2025 edition of ShorTO Film Market (November 23-25, 2025) will be marked by the important milestone of 10 years. A decade that has brought recognition, making it one of the most recognized short film markets internationally, and one of the few events exclusively dedicated to industry activities for short films.

Focusing on the tenth anniversary, the Market has launched an in-depth analysis of the productive outcomes of the 160 projects pitched between 2016 and 2024 to assess the success rate and value injected into the cinema industry. Preliminary data already confirm the initiative’s catalytic role for the projects, showing that several pitching sessions were crucial for their production.

The Market aims to stimulate the growth of the international short film and audiovisual digital content industry, with a particular focus on the Italian sector, and to encourage the growth of new authors and film professionals on the international scene, renewing the impact of short films on their production and promotion.

In order to achieve its goals, ShorTO Film Market develops several activities.
Pitching sessions for short film projects are one of the main focuses of the market. Industry panels focusing on a variety of subjecsts, mobility programmes and professional workshops are developed in close collaboration with national and international partners and are other key assets of the market. Awards, XR market showcases, special screenings, the video library and networking events are further opportunities offered to the audience of film professionals accredited to the event.
