Short Film festival

The aim of the event is to showcase the very best in short films, and highlight the great directors of yesterday, today and perhaps tomorrow.
At the media library and other venues in La Ciotat, film buffs and novices, families and enthusiasts alike can explore the magic of short films at this free event open to all.

After the success of the 2024 edition, the media library is renewing its collaboration with Art et Essai Lumière and Ça arrive près de chez vous (festival Le Cri du Court), to present a new original selection of short films.

The screening will be followed by a talk by Arnaud Gairoard and discussions with our partners.

Arnaud Gairoard has a doctorate in film studies. He teaches film analysis at the arts, literature, languages and humanities training and research unit at the University of Aix-Marseille. He is a member of the programming committee at the Eden Théâtre cinema, a member of the AFECCAV (French association of cinema and audiovisual teachers and researchers) and chairman of the La Ciotat Art et Essai Lumière association, whose aim is to bring different cinematographies to all audiences. He is responsible for the association's monthly film programme, hosting debates after screenings and giving talks on the seventh art.
