At the San Diego French Film Festival, we proudly support young filmmakers and emerging actors—because short films are often where their journey begins.
Before each feature film, audiences will enjoy a curated selection of short films, chosen from more than 60 submissions.
It wasn’t easy to make a choice… and we’re excited to share these creative, and diverse voices with you.
