Martizay Short Film Festival

Short film accessible to all in Berry

The Martizay Short Film Festival is part of a major national event organized every year in March throughout France. The village of Martizay, located in northwestern Indre, opens its doors to the 7th art by offering free short film screenings to all audiences. This event, supported by the National Center for Cinema and the Moving Image (CNC), aims to facilitate access to short films and to promote this often-unknown format.

A national event, a local version

The Short Film Festival is organized by the association "Faites des courts, Fête des films" and is held in over 4,700 municipalities across France. In Martizay, the event takes on a local and friendly dimension, with screenings organized in the village's cultural venues. The initiative brings together over 9,000 organizers nationally and offers more than 18,000 screenings, workshops, and meetings.

A rich and eclectic program

The program for the Short Film Festival in Martizay offers a varied selection of short films: fiction, animation, documentary, experimental film. The films come from France and around the world, offering a panorama of contemporary creation in short format. The diversity of genres, lengths, and origins allows every viewer to find works that speak to them, whether they are a seasoned cinephile or simply curious.

A free cultural event open to all

One of the major advantages of this event is its free admission. Screenings are open to everyone, without prior registration, making the Short Film Festival a moment of cultural sharing accessible to the greatest number. The sessions are adapted to different audiences: families, schoolchildren, film lovers. The event contributes to the cultural animation of Berry and the democratization of cinema in rural areas.
