GRAIN URBAIN film festival, produced by the artistic community ÉQUIPE CRÉATIVE, is an international celebration of short films open to all filmmakers, regardless of age or origin. Our mission is to showcase experimental cinema that explores the aesthetics and issues of urban spaces.

In the artistic effervescence of the first edition, scheduled to take place in Paris in March 2025, GRAIN URBAIN aims to be a dynamic reflection on the challenges and the diversity of urban landscapes.

Through this unique cinematic experience, the festival aims to become an essential annual event for film lovers, creators and urban thinkers.

By bringing together a passionate community, the festival seeks to stimulate creativity and give a voice to filmmakers exploring all forms of urban narratives.

MANIFESTO

The city has always inspired us. It has been at the heart of our projects. We wanted to celebrate it, to pay it an open tribute through experimental cinema by questioning its “urbanity”: its places, whether private or public, the people who build it, inhabit it or simply pass through it, what survives it and what transforms it. A poetics of encounters between different spaces and temporalities that evolve in a perpetual double movement, between construction and reconstruction.

Through the immensity of the networks it (de)constructs, urbanity has been part of the cinematographic landscape since the advent of the moving image. While some constantly attempt to capture its fiery breath, others invite it to slow down in a freeze-frame ecology. Both devouring and dreamlike, fantasized and alarming, urbanity is a place of new creative promises, which GRAIN URBAIN film festival offers to explore.

Short film is a field of experimentation that allows for formal, limitless expression of cinematic language: how can we describe the transcendent relationship between cities and the filmic object? How can we capture the energy and historical force that emanate from a building, from a street name, from the memory of a monument? How does a city unite as much as it alienates, rise as much as it shatters, reveal its labyrinthine structures as much as it surveils?

For its first edition, GRAIN URBAIN film festival is looking for a selection of both poetic and critical perspectives at what seemingly appears as the most fascinating feature about urbanity: its ability to survive those who left it.
