Pardi di Domani is the Locarno Film Festival's dedicated short film section, established in 1991 to showcase audacious, innovative shorts and medium-length films as world or international premieres. It serves as a vital breeding ground for emerging Swiss and international directors who have not yet made a feature film, while also including a competition for established auteurs. The section is notable for launching future cinematic voices and is considered an unmissable event for lovers of short cinema within the major international festival circuit.
