Fiction, documentary, essay, fragments, experiments, forgotten films. We welcome what overflows.

Nous sommes heureux de vous présenter Hors Cadre, une nouvelle initiative événementielle portée par l’Observatoire du court métrage (OCM).

Hors Cadre est un festival d’un jour dédié aux courts métrages et œuvres vidéo qui bousculent les formats établis. Pensé comme un geste de résistance, l’événement met en lumière des créations indépendantes, souvent autoproduites, portées par des visions fortes et singulières.

Pendant une journée, le public est invité à découvrir des projections immersives et des installations vidéo dans deux espaces spécialement aménagés. Il ne s’agit pas d’un festival classique, mais d’un moment de rencontre, de partage et de curiosité.

L’événement est présenté grâce au partenariat avec le Studio Le Crib, qui accueille cette première édition.

Restez à l’affut pour plus de détails!
