About the Clermont-Ferrand Short Film Festival

Born in 1979 as part of a student film club, the Clermont-Ferrand Short Film Festival is today the most important world film event dedicated to short films.

Animation masterpieces, comedies, contemporary realities, genre films, graduation works from the best schools in the world, real or fake documentaries: the selection that makes up the seventy programmes of the festival every year brings together and confronts the worlds of filmmakers from all walks of life. Each year, three official competitions (international, national and lab) are proposed, along with many other programmes that enchant moviegoers of all ages: thematic and country retrospectives, carte blanche, programmes for young audiences, and many more!

In 2020, the festival set a new record with 172,566 entries.

About Autour de Minuit

Autour de Minuit is a film production company based in Paris created in 2001 by Nicolas Schmerkin. The company aims at supporting aesthetically innovative projects, and develops original graphic worlds with a solid content. Over time, the company began to explore other territories such as documentaries, music videos, fiction, virtual reality or young audience animation.

Hybridization -at the heart of the artistic approach of most of the works born in the company- gives the opportunity to explore new ideas and sensations in plastic artand intent to provide with visuals never to be seen before. The company produced almost 70 shorts films which some are already classics: Obras, Flesh, Carlitopolis, Decorado, Peripheria, A Town Called Panic: The Christmas Log and Logorama.

Since 2004, Autour de Minuit also dedicates its work to international distribution of animated films and digital experimentations, with a catalogue of more than 300 films.

Autour de Minuit is the associate producer of the first Spanish animated feature film for adults by Alberto Vazquez, Psiconautas, and is about to begin the preproduction of his next feature film, Unicorn Wars.

Autour de Minuit is also a music, book and DVD publisher, and has recently published the posthumous graphic novel of the missed Rosto, Mind My Gap (with the double album Songs from My Gap), as well as a DVD/Blu-Ray boxset of Rosto's latest work, Thee Wreckers Tetralogy.
