International creation laboratories
21st 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.”

The projects implemented this year will be:

Godmother and godfather of the creation
Nicole Ferroni
Actress, comedian and commentator
Born at the age of twelve, Nicole Ferroni is the youngest of four brothers: Portos, Aramis, Dartagnan and another. But from an early age, she proved to be better at juggling goats than arithmetic, much to her parents’ dismay. So she repeated her CM2 class 22 times, became a teacher in the French Education Nationale (for real), then resigned in 2011. She created her first show, “L’oeuf, la poule ou Nicole?” and joined the TV show “On n’demande qu’en rire” that same year, to leave it when it ended, in June 2013. After that, she launched her first album of Italian covers, “L’amourtadelle”, which sold over 2 copies, and in the following years she was invited to appear on several France Inter radio shows (“On va tous y passer”, “7-9”). This was followed by film roles (“Toute première fois”, “L’ex de ma vie”…) and TV series and movies (“Péplum”, “Commissariat central”, “À la folie”…). She also worked as a columnist-host on several shows (“Folie Passagère”, “Ça ne sortira pas d’ici”…) and then hosted her own show, “Piquantes”, on Teva, which is still on the air today. Her commitment also led her to set up the “Peuchère-Meskine” association, where, in partnership with other volunteers, she consoles dead animals. In 2023, Nicole Ferroni continues on her multi-faceted and unstoppable path: She is the pen and voice of the children’s podcast “Oups” about scientific discoveries made by mistake or by chance for Gulli, she is back on stage (and in the bars of Marseille…) to present her poetic show “Marseille(s)” and plays Louison in the Aspergirl series for OCS.
Jean-Gabriel Périot
Director
Born in France in 1974, Jean-Gabriel Périot has made several short films on the borderline between documentary, experimental and fiction. He has developed his own editing style, questioning violence and history through the use of film and photographic archives. His films, including Dies Irae, Eût-elle été criminelle…, Nijuman No Borei (200,000 ghosts) and The Devil, have won awards at festivals around the world. His first feature film, Une jeunesse allemande (A German Youth) opened the Panorama section at the 2015 Berlinale before being released on German, Swiss and French screens and honored with several awards. Lumières d’été, his first feature-length fiction film premiered at the San Sebastian Film Festival, was released in France in summer 2017. Nos défaites was presented at the Forum during the 2019 edition of the Berlinale, and Retour à Reims [fragments] adapted from Didier Eribon and starring Adèle Haenel was selected for the Directors’ Fortnight at Cannes in 2021. His next film, “Affronter l’obscurité” will be released in theaters in 2024.
