In a first, movies from an international film festival focusing on the very short film format — films whose duration is four minutes or less — will be screened in the city as part of its worldwide schedule. The screening will take place simultaneously in several countries during the 21st edition of the French festival. Hosted by Alliance Française de Bombay, this exclusive screening from the Très Court International Film Festival, aims to represent the format which does not categorise according to the genre. So, you will find fiction, animation, documentary, music video or even a video blog being nominated.

There will be two sets of screenings — international films and francophone cinema (French films set in a region other than France). Some of the films that will be screened include A Little Thing (German) by Alexander Kohn, El Sueño Beato (Spanish) by David Pantaleón and Je Suis Nous (French) by Noé Depoortere. A Little Thing, which was shot in 72 hours, includes three sets of interactions between people, all of who come to the same realisation. Je Suis Nous, which translates to I am Us, is an animated film which talks about the eternal bond of love, while El Sueño Beato or The Blessed Dream revolves around how a day at the beach can become a mystical experience.
