CINEFUTURA
An exclusive selection of short films, finally online for everyone.
Curated by Plico.
Made for cinephiles.
Cinefutura is Plico’s new space dedicated to short films — a format too often underestimated, yet the most radical in cinema.
We select films that move something: new voices, bold visions, images that stay with you. Works that don’t wait for permission to exist.
Short films are not tests. They are complete worlds. Pure authorship. Pure cinema.
This platform highlights filmmakers shaping what tomorrow could look like — one unexpected frame at a time.
