Every year, as part of the Cinéma sous les étoiles festival, Funambules Médias organizes a documentary short film competition to celebrate the quality of works created here and elsewhere.

Every year, we receive over 200 short films. Our programming team has selected 25 films.

We pay special attention to the aesthetic quality and cinematography of the submitted documentaries, as well as a strong author's point of view, with a balance between art and social engagement.

SIX DISTINCTIONS WILL BE AWARDED:

The short film program is divided into 3 categories: Quebec programming, Canadian programming, and International programming. A jury of professionals will award the prizes.

We will unveil the winners of our competition and present the various awards to the filmmakers during our evening of award-winning short films.
