Two workshops will be present for our young cinema lovers for
them to discover the backyard of animation. This morning with À

professionals of cinema.

and from 7pm to 8pm at La Méridiennenne
FILM MARKET
The Film Market is the festival’s key place for all
professionals. Its screening area provides each
participant with a special reception facility and a
selection of films. It puts the focus on those highly
artistic short-films which unfortunately could not
be included on the festival’s official program. It is
such a useful tool for the buyers, distributors and
other schedulers of different French and European
festivals.

8pm – at the Quartz, Foyer 2 (2nd floor)

team’s office and the first floor just to pick up all the tee-shirts.
Being in charge of all the volunteers is not an easy task !

making the films available for the deaf and
