Children Program
supported by Clermont- Ferrand International Short Film Festival
A kids’ short film program that adults can also enjoy.
In France children begin watching short films as part of their education in kindergarten. We have worked with Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival, the world’s largest short film festival with 37 years of history, to create a program suitable for children 4 years and up. Please be sure to bring your children and enjoy this lineup focused on non-dialogue animations.
