CARTE BLANCHE À CANAL+

Short film is a constantly-evolving format in terms of creation, production, and exhibition. These films invite us to travel, reflect, and become participants in countless lives. In just a short amount of time, they have the power to evoke sensations, feelings, and emotions, easily rivaling longer film formats.

Each film is the discovery of a universe unique to its creator, combined with the energy deployed by a production team and technical crew. Everything is alchemy; reality is thus infinitely transfigured. Giving visibility to diverse narratives remains essential, because the world is vast.

This CANAL+ Carte Blanche selection for the 2026 Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival takes us on a journey through poetry, comedy, science fiction, and other genres. With pre-purchases, acquisitions and awards received at French and international festivals, these films form the cinematic kaleidoscope that the COURTS&CREATIONS programs showcase.

Because you, the Clermont ISFF audience, are just as curious as we are, you can access the + DE COURTS program on the CANAL+ App and you can also check out the COURTS&CREATIONS programs on the digital channel, with many short films available for viewing without a subscription.
