The Reggio Film Festival is an international short film contest in Reggio Emilia, organised by the Italian Federation of Cineclubs (FEDIC) and Cine Club Reggio with a team of volunteers. The first edition took place in May 2002. Each edition is built around a theme that shapes one competition section and is explored beyond cinema through talks, concerts, exhibitions and performances in Reggio Emilia and nearby towns. Alongside the themed competition, the programme includes a free-theme section, a selection of films from Emilia-Romagna and Family Shorts for children and families, with prizes from an international jury, school and university juries and the audience.

The 2026 edition, on the theme “Together”, runs from 7 to 15 November 2026 in Reggio Emilia and Cavriago, preceded by side events from 26 October.
