Therefore, the short films selected by them are always the best-watch of the year. It also attracts many visitors from across the world every year. I am so honoured that my short film could be screened at this well-known film festival.
In Clermont, the festival venues were also very concentrated, I could basically visit different locations within walking distance, which allowed me to save time for travelling between different activities. During the festival, I have attended some conferences and watched many excellent short films. The people there are friendly and appreciate short films very much. To my surprise, there were many old people among the audience.
In addition, the Clermont-Ferrand Short Film Festival has a dedicated international short film market, where I met a lot of filmmakers I knew before and we have discussed future cooperation opportunities together. I also visited the booths of different countries, such as Iran, Italy, Germany, and the Czech Republic. I have learned what kind of cooperation opportunities each country has for co-productions for independent films. The information was greatly useful to me for developing future projects. It is worth coming back and I hope I would have this chance.”
