We are delighted to announce that the first edition of the FUGITIF SHORT FILM FESTIVAL will take place at the UTOPIA Cinema, one of France’s most prized and beautiful art house cinemas, and a cultural beacon of the pope’s city of Avignon.

The original 12th September 2021 Screening has been postponed to later in 2021 due to the ongoing Covid-19 restrictions put in place. We look forward to welcoming you in the safest way possible and ensure a smooth and pleasant evening.

The event will kick off with a performance by Visages, an audio-visual collective from Lyon. Following the opening event, our shortlisted film screening will take place in one of the cinema’s viewing rooms for a duration of approximately 2 hours.
