Following last year's success, we continue our collaboration with the Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival to present the Clermont-Ferrand Kids & Family Short Film Special Program. Grounded in themes of education, lived experience, and philosophy, these films bring together pure imagination and deep reflection in a diverse array of animations that transcend generations and borders.

From a community of wingless birds and a doll's daring escape from a cuckoo clock, to the world seen through a child's innocent eyes, these selections grant children the wings of boundless imagination while offering adults a chance to rediscover a forgotten sense of wonder and a fresh perspective on life. Across 2D animation, stop-motion, and wordless visual storytelling, these films remind us of cinema's most essential power: to make us laugh and to move us deeply.

If a parent and child can meet each other's gaze when the credits roll, sharing a silent, profound connection, then this program has achieved its highest purpose. We invite every family to step into the vast worlds on screen, and embark on an adventure together.
