Clermont-Ferrand Short Film Festival is the world's largest film festival dedicated to short films. In term of audience and professional presence, it is the second largest film festival in France after Cannes. The festival is at the heart of many activities and missions conducted all year long by the collective Sauve qui peut le court métrage. The association employs 18 permanents, all based in Auvergne, where a whole dynamic around cinema has been created.

This year, 6,200 films from around the world were submitted, of which only 77 were selected for the international competition, including 51 feature films, 10 documentaries and 16 animated films.

The festival will be held from 28, January to 5, February, 2022.

FIVE MINUTES OLDER, dir. Sara Szymańska
Twin sisters Mela and Zenia take a trip to spend a lazy summer evening together by the lake. Their bond is so close that there is no telling where one ends and the other begins... And when the amount of unfulfilled expectations for one another comes to surface, it seems any attempt to set boundaries or untangle the fused personalities is doomed to fail.

artistic supervision: Jacek Rokosz, Kacper Zamarło
