LE COURT 2027 | 49th Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival
The Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival is the world’s leading event dedicated to short films. Organized by the Sauve qui peut le court métrage association, the 49th festival (and its short film market) will take place from January 29 to February 6, 2027. It will feature masterpieces of animation, comedy, contemporary reality, genre films, graduation works from the world’s top schools, and documentaries from around the globe. Once again, short films will be revealed in all their richness and diversity in Auvergne, in the heart of winter.
The artwork for the next edition will be created by illustrator Manon Diemer. She visited Clermont-Ferrand in February 2026 to explore the festival and meet Karolis Strautniekas, the Lithuanian artist who designed the 2026 poster.
After studying at the Academy of Fine Arts in Lyon and then at Gobelins, Manon has been working out of La Rochelle and Paris. She devotes herself entirely to drawing, bringing a unique sense of composition derived from her background in photography. Her work reflects a love for the raw and wild beauty of nature and is rooted in a commitment to the fields of ecology and environmental preservation.

The festival’s commitment
The Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival wishes to contribute to a diverse, inclusive, equal and fair film industry, centered around values of artistic excellence, dynamic film creation, mutual respect, freedom of expression and progress.
In its commitment to promote a safe event free of all forms of violence, the Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival does not tolerate any kind of behavior which threatens the dignity or the physical, mental, and/or emotional integrity of others. The Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival is fully dedicated to adopting necessary measures to respond to all forms of violence.
For its 45th edition, the Clermont-Ferrand Short Film Festival has committed to developing environmentally responsible practices. These engagements require efficiency and structure, and that is why the Festival is a candidate for a level-1 REEVE label as an environmentally and socially committed festival.
For its 46th edition, the festival is applying for the second level of the label, and is committed to implementing 58 operational eco-responsibility actions.
It also uses the Green Charter for Film Festivals and the 50/50 Collective’s Charter for Gender-Equality and Diversity in Film, Audiovisual, and Motion Picture Festivals.
