Fenêtres sur Courts
The international short film festival in Dijon
About Fenêtres sur Courts
The meeting point for short films in Burgundy
Founded in 1995 by Didier Besnier, director of the Eldorado cinema, Fenêtres sur Courts has become over the years a major event in the regional and national film landscape. Organized by the association Plan9 since 2012, the festival is the only one in Burgundy to benefit from the recognition of the National Center for Cinema and the Moving Image.
Four competitions and discoveries
The festival offers four official competitions as well as out-of-competition screenings. Animated films, documentaries, fiction, experimental films: all genres of short films are represented. Each edition welcomes nearly 5,000 spectators in seven cultural venues in Dijon, confirming the public's enthusiasm for the short format.
A springboard for filmmakers
Fenêtres sur Courts plays a role as a springboard for young directors, whether they are regional, national or international. The festival offers an exceptional showcase for often little-known works and contributes to the dissemination and promotion of short films to a wide audience.
