The 14th Baltic Pitching Forum 2026 may be over, but the memories from four days are still with us!

On Friday, we wrapped up this yearโ€™s Forum with BPF | Contemporary Italian Animated Short Cinema โ€“ a screening curated by the Centro Nazionale del Cortometraggio / Italian Short Film Center, featuring two of the programmeโ€™s directors, Margherita Giusti and Lucia Catalini, who joined us for the occasion. ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น

A wonderful way to close this yearโ€™s edition and celebrate the diversity of contemporary Italian animation.
