Comedy is the focus of the Festival du court métrage d’humour de Meudon, whose short-film programmes range from social observation to offbeat, tender and dark humour. Organised by Meudon 7e art, the festival dates back to 1990 and screens films at the Centre d’art et de culture in Meudon, France. French fiction and animation compete alongside the noncompetitive Courts de cœur panoramas. School screenings introduce younger audiences to animation, while secondary-school pupils form a jury for the youth prize.

The 37th edition dates are 30 September–4 October 2026. Its official competition comprises seventeen films across two programmes, with discussions involving the film teams.
