We talked about it already in our folder dedicated to the festivals of the first category, but as the date is fast approaching, let’s go back a little bit more detail on the Festival Short Side, which will take place from 6 to 16 June at Pantin, in the Paris suburbs.
This festival offers three types of competitions, with the inevitable, and the main Competition Fiction, which offers 30 short films. There is also the Competition of Video Art that must move the lines between genres, and New Media, exploring new creative spaces.
These three different competitions, it is also a large number of projections of every kind which are in addition to, like Panorama, which presents a very great variety of styles, but also Screen-free, or a focus on Arian Loze and another on Japan.
