Every winter, Clermont-Ferrand hosts “the second most important film festival in France” (after the well-known event in Cannes).  This February will bring the 29^th edition of the International Short Film Festival, showcasing works from filmmakers around the world in addition to two thematic programs on the art of short film in Colombia and works of “black humor”.

The 29^th annual International Short Film Festival and 39^th National Short Film Festival will be held from February 3^rd to February 11^th, 2017.   Ticket packages and information about hotels  are available on the Festival’s website.

Read more about this exceptional event in my article on FranceToday.com , one of the best online sources for information about travel and culture in France.

I’ll resume with new blog posts the first week in January.  For now, though, je vous souhaite des bonnes fêtes de Noel et du jour de l’an – Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and those close to you!
