Off-Courts: Short Films in Freedom in Trouville-sur-Mer
Since 2000, the Off-Courts Festival in Trouville-sur-Mer has been the annual meeting point for Franco-Quebecois short films. Born from the desire to create a cinematic bridge between France and Quebec, the festival has expanded over the years to welcome short films from around the world.
A Generous and Eclectic Festival
For a week in September, Off-Courts offers a rich program: official short film competitions, thematic evenings "from short to feature," special screenings, shows, concerts, exhibitions, and workshops. The official selection includes over 30 films, while the entire program features more than 100 films screened.
The festival is entirely free and open to all, true to its philosophy of sharing and accessibility. It brings together film industry professionals, emerging directors, and cinephiles every year in the unique atmosphere of this Norman seaside resort.
A Springboard for Young Filmmakers
