| “The cream of the crop of French short films is out and about!” (Libération)
Since 1998, Les Lutins make it possible for a wide audience to watch short films on big screen, discovering new talents who make the cinema of tomorrow. They promote the unknown and show the unseen letting their spectators experience a new possibility of going to the movies. |
| This year’s selection include a stylish film noir miniature, cinéma-vérité vignettes about fathers and sons, an unusual story about a meteorite and one about someone with extraordinary ears featuring top model Audrey Marnay – and much, more. |
| Take notice: the young directors, actors and actresses revealed in these short films will be the award-winners of tomorrow’s movies. Director François Ozon and actresses Ludivine Sagnier and Sylvie Testud, now famous, were discovered by Les Lutins du Court Métrage. |
| Short film director Ron Falzone will introduce the movie and lead discussion after. Ron Falzone is an award-winning screenwriter and tenured member of the full-time faculty of the Film and Video Department of Columbia College Chicago. In addition, Ron is host of two screening series: Talk Cinema in Chicago and Evanston and Cinema Slapdown at Columbia College. Ron is a year 2000 recipient of an Illinois Arts Council Artists Fellowship in Screenwriting, a 2006 and 2007 winner of the IAC Finalist Award and is an eleven-time Artist in Residence at the Ragdale Foundation in Lake Forest, Illinois. His current projects include librettist for the opera "Coriander and a Penny's Worth of Lonesome" and screenwriter and co-producer for the comic short Typing, set to shoot in May 2010 and starring comedy legend Tim Kazurinsky. |
