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.
