OCTOBER 18, 2O24
The Sold Out of Bordeaux Shorts Biennale is back for an incredible Third edition!
Submission starts May, 6 2023 > May 31, 2024
Event and award ceremony between: October 18, 2024.
The Bordeaux International One minute and Short Film Festival presents an array of short films from all over the world to the public of Bordeaux!
We believe that very short and short films are a genre in their own right and not just a springboard for making feature films so we want your stories... very short! 1 minute, very short films from 1 to 4 minutes and short films from 4 to 15 minutes in the following genres: Fiction, Animation, Documentary, Art.
We believe that the stories and the way they are told take precedence over the means used and that one can tell a lot with very little... being touching, moving, powerful, poetic, strange or committed!

OUR VISION
We believe hat the city of Bordeaux, with its international artistic influence, should also honor the minute film and the very short film!
Making a very short film forces us to rethink questions of narration. We believe that the stories and the way of telling them take precedence over the technical means used and that one can tell a lot with very little. We expect your shorts films, touching, moving, striking, poetic, strange and committed.
Our festival Bordeaux Shorts Biennale wants to be above all a convivial moment with the aim of giving to see and to make discover to the public another window of the contemporary and current cinema!
