Thematics programs

Thematic programs are offered to take you into various worlds where French and Quebec shorts intertwine.

Because one of our primary goals is to show short films, many more films in thematic programs, carte blanche, outdoor screenings and programs for young audiences. There is something for all tastes and for all ages!

This year, the documentary is in the spotlight and, even if it is presented in a thematic program, it is eligible for best documentary award!
