Discover the short films that represented Canada at the 45th Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival! A special screening at the Canadian Cultural Centre will feature a selection of strong and poignant stories from a new generation of filmmakers.

The Clermont-Ferrand Short Film Festival is now the world’s largest film event dedicated to short films. Each year, the Canadian presence is important both at the festival (27 January – 4 February 2023) and at the Marché du Film Court (30 January – 3 February 2023).

The Canadian selection is rich in discoveries and immerses filmgoers in the multiple sources of inspiration of filmmakers who are masters in the art of storytelling.

In the presence of Julie Rousson, member of the international selection committee of the Clermont-Ferrand Short Film Festival.

In partnership with the Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival.
