European short film at the Quartz, in Brest
The Brest European Short Film Festival takes over the Quartz, the national theatre, from November 10 to 15. The Côte Ouest association has organised it since its founding in 1986. Three competitions share the programme: European, French and Breton.
Animation, documentary, fiction. The festival puts young European filmmakers forward, and professional juries as well as the audience award the prizes.
Eight special programmes are aimed at families, split by age group from 2 to 16, with animated and fiction films. The festival adds out-of-competition screenings, meetings with directors and themed evenings. The Bal du Court, a festive party, closes it.
On prices, the festival pass costs 50 euros, or 35 euros at the reduced rate. A single screening is 7.50 euros (6 euros reduced), a young audience screening 6 euros.
Tram line A serves the Quartz, at the Château stop, and Brest station is a fifteen-minute walk away.

Some events are free to attend.
In Rennes, Jazz à l'Ouest started on November 3 and runs until the 21st. The MJC Bréquigny is its heart, and the programme spreads over some twenty halls and partner venues in Rennes, its metropolitan area and Ille-et-Vilaine. The festival has many free events, reduced rates and the Sortir! rate.
