Festival Tous Courts

About

For more than twenty years with the same ardour every year the festival seeks films that illustrate the richness and diversity of international short film production. Its objective is to give a space to creativity and freedom, preserve cultural diversity, allow short film to get back into movie theatres, contribute to the emergence of new talents and give the audience the pleasure to (re)discover the treasures of short films. Through its numerous programs, the festival presents more than 200 films, both contemporary young creations and heritage.
