Bleu Paris Short Film Festival
Paris, France
BLEU PARIS is an independent international film festival dedicated to films in which the color blue plays a central artistic, emotional, or symbolic role.
Created in Paris, the festival celebrates emerging cinema, singular artistic visions, and bold storytelling through carefully curated screenings bringing together filmmakers, artists, and audiences around a shared fascination for the many shades of blue.
The 5th edition, entitled Furiously Blue, will take place on March 5–6, 2027, in a renowned Parisian cinema.
The festival is structured around three sections:
• Official Selection — short films (1–25 min) competing for the Blue Prize and the Audience Award
• Mid-Length Selection — mid-length films (26–60 min) competing for the Mid-Length Jury Prize
• Blue Laboratory — an off-competition program dedicated to experimental, daring, and unconventional works
The Blue Prize includes a €300 financial grant made possible thanks to the support of the festival’s sponsor.
BLEU PARIS welcomes professional and independent filmmakers from all countries and backgrounds.
More than a competition, BLEU PARIS aims to create a poetic, cinematic, and immersive experience where blue becomes a language of its own.
