Short Out Festival – From July 7 to 12 in Lainate

The international short-film festival Short Out returns with its fifth edition!

Six days of screenings and events, from July 7 to July 12, are waiting for you at Villa Litta in Lainate!

All festival events are free to attend, please visit the Short Out website for more information and updates.

The 2026 theme: “What Limits Us.”

An expression that holds together objects and boundaries, matter and relationship. The limit here does not separate, but rather is a threshold: a place where things act on people and people on things, where relationships, habits, and meanings are revealed and redefined.

Through screenings, meetings, performances, workshops, and co-creation practices, the fifth edition of Short Out is an invitation to reflect on the role of objects in our daily lives, an exploration of the margin as a living space where things are not just things but tell what we are, what we have been, and what we can become.
