No one should go to the cinema if they don’t believe in heroes.
(John Wayne)
A rebellious young hen, an ambitious crab, three intrepid marmots, a little girl in love, hard-working foxes, a protective T-Rex, a boy mistreated by his boss…These are just some of the protagonists of the short films of the 26th UFF. From 6 July, adventurous, surprising, sweet, sometimes melancholic but never predictable stories will be waiting for you in Montone. In these stories, the true hero is the one who knows how to face adversity, either counting only on his own strength, or with a little help. Stories of courage, revenge, love, tenacity and, above all, friendship. Here are the short films of the 26th Umbria Film Festival.
