International creation laboratories
22nd international laboratories of digital creation
At the heart of the festival, more than 200 filmmakers, artists and technicians from around the world come together for a week of crazy creation. Short films made in less than 72 hours, animation, live shootings, muziklab, music videos and much more.
Equipped with the latest equipment by our partners, and surrounded by experienced technicians, professionals and amateurs work side by side in front of your eyes to create more than 60 films in one week.
No selection, no censorship, no competition for these works. The laboratory is based on meeting and mutual aid according to Kino’s philosophy: “Do well with nothing, do better with little, but do it now” to which we allow ourselves to add “… And together.”

Godfather of the creation
Marc Andreoni
Actor, writer and director
So that our young Kinoïtes filmmakers are surrounded and stimulated by a fine connoisseur of the exercise, it is one of the very first participants in our Labs who gives us the joy of being the godfather of these 22nd Laboratories.
Marc Andreoni, who arrived in Trouville in 2001 with the sublime Bali Balo, won the Public Prize hands down and subsequently became one of the faithful regulars of this very particular creative process.
He was already a proven actor when we met, never to leave sight of each other again.
From Clermont-Ferrand to Montreal, via Trouville and Porquerolles, he helped grow and recognize Off-Courts, often giving us some good tips!
“I met Off-Courts in 2001 thanks to Jean Pierre Lazzerini, who suggested my first short film Balibalo to Sam and Vincent.
The festival took place in a bar called ‘la maison’ and the short films were screened above the bar in a room with 16 chairs, a screen and a projector hidden in a cupboard with a hole in the wall for the occasion. The category was ‘short but trashy’ at midnight. There was only one prize, that of the public, 50,000 francs, and Balibalo won. I had sworn off directing because it had been so difficult, but now I had to shoot a short film in Trouville for the opening of the 2002 festival. So I made two for the same price. Trouville and Colin Maillard.
That same year saw the arrival of Kino, created by Christian Laurence and Jéricho Jeudi, and a whole gang of Quebecois who came to make films in 48 hours without censorship or competition. They came to do well with nothing, better with little, but to do it now! They woke me up, and I made my first kino, Pépère a Trouville. And that’s how, every year since then, Jean-Pierre and I have met up again with our beloved family.
During the week of Off-courts, there was no point in us making any filming offers, we were in Trouville.
Then Jean-Pierre passed during Off-Courts 2012.
Pépère would have said:
‘Well, that way all your friends are there and it frees up a room for you, Sam… So come on, let’s meet on the beach…’.
Then I went into exile on an island where I created Kino Porquerolles for 10 years. Jean-Pierre was the godfather. And as he used to say: somewhere in the universe the stars are working for the just man.
Happy to be back.
Good life to you all.”
– Marc Andreoni
