At this year’s Afi Fest, audiences will get a taste of Italy’s fresh storytelling through Marco Cavazzin’s latest short, “Mutrion unico corto italiano.” Produced by the seasoned Etimo studio, the film has already turned heads, earning a directing prize at the prestigious Locarno Festival.
Now in the competition lineup, Cavazzin’s work promises to showcase the same daring visual style that won over jurors in Switzerland. Organisers say the piece adds a vibrant, contemporary voice to the festival’s diverse slate, and critics are eager to see if it can replicate its Locarno success on a new stage.
