About this event
Nine evenings under the stars in the 19th arrondissement, billed by its organisers as the largest free open-air short film festival in Paris. Each night opens with a set from an emerging Île-de-France act at half past seven, followed from nine by two hours of international shorts in competition. The 25th edition opens on 28 August, catching the last weekend of the month.
Why we picked it
A quarter-century-old free festival that closes out the Paris summer with live music plus competitive international shorts — distinctive programming readers will not find on the tourist trail.
Free entry
Free entry throughout — the association describes it as 'le plus grand festival du court métrage en plein air gratuit de Paris'.
