From 17 to 26 September 2026, Sentiero Film Factory returns for its sixth edition, celebrating short films and debut features. Bronzetto is among this year’s sponsors, supporting a project dedicated to emerging talent, creativity, professional development and local communities.

For the first time, the festival will begin in Poggibonsi on 17 and 18 September, before moving to Florence from 19 September, where events will once again take place across the San Frediano district.

Ten days of independent cinema

The 2026 edition brings together 91 works, with short films from Italy and more than 20 countries. Alongside screenings, the programme includes feature films, music videos, talks, meetings with filmmakers and industry professionals, masterclasses, activities for schools, photography and live music.

Training also plays an important role through the Sentiero Film Lab, which supports emerging filmmakers throughout the development of their projects, from screenwriting and production to distribution and pitch preparation.

Through Sentierini, the festival also continues its work with children, teenagers and schools, highlighting cinema’s cultural, educational and social value.

Creativity, culture and community

Sentiero Film Factory creates connections between cinema, professionals, audiences and the places that host it, turning the local community into a space for exchange and experimentation.

Supporting the festival means helping create opportunities for new voices and emerging creativity — values that Bronzetto shares through its own commitment to craftsmanship, talent and the culture of making.
