French and international short films compete at Cinéma Apollo in Pontault-Combault, with separate awards for live-action fiction and animation. The French fiction competition distinguishes comedy and emotion, while the programme also includes a youth prize, a high-school prize and an audience award. The Pierre Étaix Prize and a prize associated with the Centre Photographique d’Île-de-France form part of the festival’s awards.

Organised by the neighbourhood cinema, the festival presents dozens of competing shorts and concludes with a prize ceremony. Screenings take place at Apollo’s two-screen venue on avenue de la République. The 27th edition dates are 10–11 October 2026, with free admission.
