Organizing a short film happening is bringing together a whole bunch of professionals able to gather all those small things which make up great events. Old-timers and green recruits, armed with their multiple competences, rummage through their tool boxes in order to create a program worthy of the most demanding public. Each one throws in his creativity and adds a choice piece to the whole, small details add-up and end-up producing a unique of its kind experience.

For the occasion, Saguenay becomes the scene of a contagious enthusiasm. Nothing is left to chance during these days borrowed from winter so that the region can be transformed into a much appreciated international rendezvous. To this end, we favour a filmography whose quality and eclecticism can reach the widest range of cinema enthusiasts. In order to reach this goal, we draw from a repertoire which has stood out on the festival world circuit as much as from the new releases freshly out of postproduction studios. No concession is made on the quality of movies whose career is, on the other hand, too often short-lived. Numerous exchange activities and meetings complete the scene of this great artistic manifestation.

Once again, everything is in place to turn this 14th edition into human-scaled festival with a universal reach. Young or old, green or seasoned, our dearest wish is that you recognize yourself in these short stories as wide as the world. Small screens open on the innumerable versions of a universe we all share, may these fantastic finds delight you as much as they have seduced us.
