shorts

If you do make your way to the festival, show up early for the film and check out the short films that are shown before each feature.

Today before Hulot was a clever little animated bit about being stuck on a SNCF (French rail) train, Bouts en train.

The three-minute film was directed by Emilie Sengelin and mocks the stereotypical French rail commuter. Bullet-train travel is quite common in France, even regionally, so it's funny to see jokes about strikes, grump old dudes that hog newspapers, flirty guys, etc. I'm looking for the short online so I'll post it when I find it. No luck on Berri's Poulet short just yet.
