Every film to the end
The selection committee watches every submission in full. No skipping, no first-five-minutes rule.
Festival / 11th edition
A week for the short film.
Sprocket started in 2017 as a single night in a borrowed room. Eleven years later it fills four rooms, a piazza and most of the hotels near the harbour, and it still runs on the same idea: short films deserve a full room and a long conversation afterwards.

What we keep
02
The makers in the room
Every screening ends with the people who made the film, on stage and then at the bar.
03
Fair to filmmakers
We pay a screening fee to every selected film and cover two nights for one guest per film.
04
Open to the city
The piazza screen is free every night, and students pay half for everything else.
