/// The 22nd edition of Un Festival C’est Trop Court! in NICE came to a close on October 15. Our guests of honor Regina Pessoa, Mikhaël Hers and Para One made this 22nd edition memorable.
The marked return of the public, school classes and film teams (directors, producers, etc.) testifies to the enthusiasm for French and European cinema and short films, as well as the desire to return to the darkroom, be it a cinema (Cinémas Belmondo, Rialto), a film library (La Cinémathèque de Nice), a theater (Les Franciscains), an art school (La Villa Arson), not forgetting BMVR Louis Nucéra, 109 and La Zonmé.
Film professionals gathered at the Chambre de Commerce et d’Industrie for the Nice Short Meeting also demonstrate Nice’s growing interest in the industry and the animation of its audiovisual sector. The 69 people (permanent staff, intermittents, interns, volunteers) who produced this year’s event warmly thank its partners for their support and their presence by our side. With the group of associations La Bande Passante, we announced an “Automne de l’Image“, an autumn of pictures, in Nice. We look forward to the second edition.
See you in 2023, from October 06 to 13, for the 23rd edition of Un Festival C’est Trop Court!
