31º Festival Internacional de Curtas-Metragens de São Paulo
We are delighted to announce that“SUPERBOT” has been selected from among the 2,368 films submitted (!) for the children’s/teens’ category at the 31st Sao Paulo International Short Film Festival.
This year – COVID-19 obliges – the festival will take place online and will respect the official calendar (from 20 to 30 August).
About the festival
The São Paulo International Short Film Festival is one of the world’s biggest events dedicated to short films. Held in the city of São Paulo since 1990, it has become a landmark in the city’s cultural calendar for its broad and diverse programme, which is screened free of charge in several of the city’s theatres and cultural centres.
The main focus is on International, Latin American and Brazilian film programmes. A series of special programmes is created each year, based on the films shown at the Festival and suggestions made by curators who visit the most important festivals in Brazil and around the world.
According to its organisers, this edition will be very special given the pandemic situation, but for the first time the festival will reach more people, beyond the boundaries of Sao Paulo, spreading throughout Brazil in a unique virtual theatre.
To adapt to this new reality, the Festival has rethought its entire programme, and this year it will present a smaller, more robust selection.
Good luck to the film Superbot by Pierre-André Fontaine, Rémy Leroy and Emmanuel Pierrat!

About the festival
With an average attendance of more than 10,000 people at the festival every late summer, including around 3,000 to 4,000 spectators, the Nancy International Film Festival – formerly the “Aye Aye Film Festival” and then the “Festival International du Film Nancy-Lorraine” – is a renowned film event in Nancy.
Over the years, the festival has gradually grown and become more professional, while remaining deeply faithful to its values: to offer you a different, high-quality, original cinema experience at the end of the summer, based on discovery, conviviality and sharing.
For 23 years, the festival team has been striving to offer the people of Nancy and the Grand Est region films from here and elsewhere, in their original version, that break down borders and prejudices. Sensitive to the issue of human rights, the Nancy International Film Festival is committed to offering an editorial choice of films in defence of diversity, always in favour of quality, with films that are committed, funny, touching, surprising and sometimes disturbing.
Each year, the festival takes place in different venues in the capital of the Dukes of Lorraine: the Cour de la Manufacture, the Institut européen de cinéma et d’audiovisuel, the Centre d’image Lorraine, the Conservatoire régional du Grand Nancy and the Théâtre de la Manufacture.
The festival will take place in Nancy from 28 August to 6 September 2020.
