About the Filmoramax festival

Why did we create Filmoramax?

Our primary objective is to make the short film fully exist as an art form, accessible to all, by promoting the short film industry as a springboard for future great directors, both competitive and complementary to feature films. Great cinema in short format is what Filmoramax wants to offer in order to create unforgettable experiences.

Filmoramax: bastion of the short film industry

Created in 2019 by the strong bond between Arnaud Mizzon and OCS, Filmoramax and ready to modernize the image of the short film and create a new wave of events, Filmoramax aspires to make the city of Lyon, cradle of cinema, shine on a national and international level. The 2022 edition opened at the Pathé Bellecour with a masterful showcase of MB14, the short film "Les Petits Souliers" by Oliver Nakache and Éric Toledano and an exclusive showing of the new OCS series "Septième Ciel" directed by Alice Vial. 

 

For the competition, 21 international films, selected among more than 605 films received, were screened in the movie theaters of Pathé Bellecour, UGC Part Dieu and Cinéma Comédia, in the presence of the jury and exceptional guests (Ana Girardot, Eden Ducourant, Lucas Bravo, Anthony Marciano, Anaïde Rozam, Makita Samba, Héloïse Martin...). The refined cuisine of the chef Cyril Bosviel welcomed our guests for the closing night at the Paul Bocuse Institute. Filmoramax has created prestigious partnerships and sponsorships with companies and brands such as OCS, Lip, MYM, By My Car, L'Olympique Lyonnais and Ma Pièce. Filmoramax has access to national media, influencers and unique audiovisual creations allowing for significant communication and marketing efforts. In 2022, nearly 4,000 festival-goers took part in the Filmoramax adventure, the short film festival that thinks big!
