Program

The Brest European Short Film Festival runs from November 10 to 15, 2026. European, French and Brittany competitions, off-programs, retrospective, meetings and screenings for young audiences, discover the films selected for this 41th edition!

The Festival is a space for artistic freedom; here are a few tips to help you enjoy it to the fullest:

Marked in green on the schedule: Screenings specifically tailored for young audiences, with the recommended minimum age indicated.

The rest of the program is generally intended for a “mature” audience. Generally for ages 14 and up, unless otherwise noted: some screenings include a content warning (!) while others are family-friendly for ages 10 and up (*)

For audience members who would like details on sensitive topics featured in the films, you can now refer to the Trigger Warning.

Dans la petite cuisine à l’arrière du salon Saphir, Louise reçoit les visiteurs, la famille, les amis et les proches. Coincée entre le percolateur à café, les débordements sentimentaux et les piles de miches molles, elle n’arrive pas à s’extraire de cette coulisse et à passer le rideau de velours.

In the small kitchen at the back of the Saphir lounge, Louise receives visitors, family, friends, and loved ones. Stuck between the coffee percolator, the emotional overflow, and the piles of soft loaves, she can't extricate herself from this backstage and pass through the velvet curtain.
