"CREEPY KIDS": THE HEROES IFF SHORTS

More than 2500 short films from 26 countries have been competing for weeks in the two competition sections of Heroes: Independent and Graduation Short Film.

The international jury selected 42 works bringing together all genres of the festival with different techniques, from 2D and 3D animation or in stop motion and mixed technique, to live action.
At the center of most of the submitted stories are today's youth, referred to as "Chilling Kids" in the title that also signs the lineup of the festival's 6 feature films.

In the Stories Room of the Casa del Cinema in Rome, the entire festival selection will be screened, alternating with thematic insights and video presentations by the most important film cultural associations in Italy: cinephiles, academy students and fandom together, to celebrate cinema and the most beloved series in one big independent "lair".
