The 2024 Short Films Official Selection
The Annecy Festival reveals the first part of its 2024 Official Selection: the short films in competition.
Out of the 1,505 short films submitted from 108 countries, the Annecy Festival Selection Committee chose 67 films from 33 countries to compete in the 2024 edition.
The selected short films are divided up as follows:
- 31 in the Official category
- 12 in the Off-Limits category
- 16 in the Perspectives category
- 8 in the Young Audiences category
Check out the 2024 Short Films Official Selection and the Selection Committee.
"The trend we’ve seen in recent years continues: short films are becoming increasingly longer, which accounts for the historically low number of films selected, with 31 titles in the Official Competition and 16 titles in the Perspectives section.
For the third year in a row, we have successfully achieved gender parity. There are 12 films in the Off-Limits section, featuring works by Nicolas Brault, Max Hattler and Moïa Jobin-Paré, all three former prize-winners in this section. Lastly, the Young Audiences section is dominated by France as 5 of the 8 films on the programme are French productions or co-productions."
