Chalon Tout Court

Chalon Tout Court: Discover Tomorrow's Cinema Here

Since 2009, Chalon Tout Court has established itself as a unique event in the French film landscape: a festival entirely dedicated to short films made by students from film schools, art schools, and universities around the world. Organized at the Conservatoire à Rayonnement Régional de Chalon-sur-Saône, this festival offers an exceptional showcase for the young filmmakers of tomorrow.

A Festival Born from Student Passion

Chalon Tout Court was born from the collaboration between teachers and students of the professional degree in Techniques and Activities of Image and Sound from the IUT of Chalon-sur-Saône and the Média Art school. This dual academic and artistic lineage gives the festival its unique identity: demanding in terms of the quality of the selected works, but deeply supportive of the young creators taking their first steps in the world of cinema.

An International and Diverse Selection

Each year, about forty short films are selected from hundreds of submissions from around the world. All genres are represented: fiction, animation, documentary, experimental film. This diversity enriches the competition and allows the audience to discover a range of perspectives, styles, and narratives from the new generation of filmmakers.

Prestigious Awards and Enriching Encounters

The festival awards several prizes: the Grand Prize from the professional jury, the Student Jury Prize, the Audience Award, and the Creative Film Award. Beyond the competition, Chalon Tout Court offers conferences, master classes, practical workshops, and preview screenings, all opportunities for young directors to meet their audience and film professionals. The festival is a true place for exchange and transmission between generations of filmmakers.
