For the past 9 years, Funambules Médias' Cinéma sous les étoiles has been organizing a competition for short documentaries to celebrate the quality of works created here and elsewhere. After receiving nearly 200 short films, our programming team selected 25 films. In addition to seeking a strong authorial point of view, we paid particular attention to the aesthetic quality and cinematography of the submitted documentaries, with a view to balancing art and social engagement.

SIX AWARDS FOR THE SHORT FILM SECTION

The short film program is divided into 3 categories: Quebec programming, Canadian programming and International programming. A jury composed of Pascal Anh Tuấn Huỳnh, Faiz Abhuani and director Émilie Beaulieu-Guérette will award a Punchline Prize from among the films in the Quebec Program. Here are the different prizes that will be awarded during the ceremony!

A film by Patricio Guzmán | Chile | 2022 | 83 MIN | V.O. Spanish | S‑T. French

October 2019, an unexpected revolution, a social explosion. One and a half million people demonstrated in the streets of Santiago for more democracy, a more dignified life, a better education, a better health system and a new Constitution. Chile had recovered its memory. The event I had been waiting for since my student struggles in 1973 finally materialized.
