Editorial by Marc Bati
ARE FESTIVALS IN CRISIS ?
Drops in budget, reductions in subsidies, the specific status
under question... at a time where all is seen through an
economic filter, can culture still be seen as something other
than a commodity?
We are living in a period of cultural goods and the economy
of culture, where cultural strategy is discussed with marketing
tools. Producers invest in bankable artists who promise highly
profitable blockbusters.
However, alongside this "mainstream" culture there is a real
explosion of innovative experimentation.
Internet offers an immediate daily selection of artistic possibilities, both highly original
and disconnected from the notion of an economic model, allowing for absolute
sincerity and spontaneity.
How can we best support this emerging talent?
Maybe that’s where festivals come in: as a relay or echobox to give visibility to the
not yet visible.
So, crisis or no crisis, there will always be a place for art as a vector for discovery as
long as there is an audience curious for non-formatted artistic production and greedy
for audaciousness.
And that means you!
Marc BATI
Director of the Very Shorts International Film Festival

Editorial: Prefect Parisot de Bayard for Travelling34
The 3rd edition of Travelling34 is a community event of world
importance.
In our lives we all discover the importance of human diversity.
Through a group of moving and dynamic short films, this
totally original festival reinforces the importance of living
together not despite but with disability.
The festival reminds us that humanity has always questioned
the notion of difference and that the debate becomes richer
with the humour and poetry of young film-makers.
The meeting between men, women and film will carry the audience deeply into the
question of feeling happy to be alive.
I am truly happy to be godfather of the 2014 edition.
Jean-Christophe PARISOT DE BAYARD –Prefect on a public service mission and
godfather of Travelling34 2014

OBJECTIVES
To make the Very Shorts International Film Festival available throughout
the world.
The Very Shorts international network is growing continuously with many new cities.
Development in the Southern countries is also one of our priorities and Niger has
just joined the network.
In order to achieve this, it is important to:
Develop partnerships with business sponsors ready to invest in the project.
Encourage Northern cities to support the project via twinships with developing
countries.
Create a vector for international diffusion of audio-visual creation.
Designed to be organised around the globe, the Very Shorts International Film
Festival gives yearly international diffusion to a format of audio-visual creation,
which is both concise and synthetic as well as intercultural in order to be
understood on each continent.
Increase the visibility of short films
With a network of over 8000 film-makers of all nationalities and a wide variety
of films in the catalogue, the goal is to increase diffusion of the Very Shorts in
France and the rest of the world.
By encouraging TV channels to broadcast the films at peak periods, which is
possible thanks to the light and flexible cinematographic format. The Shorts are
wonderful signs of what is happening in the world and can be widely broadcast
via our media partner s sites Arte Creative, Canal+, France Culture, Rue 89.
By encouraging distributors to include Shorts in feature film DVD s or even to
screen them before films at the cinema. Once again the size and vast choice of
topics plays in favour of Shorts.
Local cohesion in an international project
Local selections « Around the
» give each participating city the
possibility to customize the Festival during the same 10 day period by
choosing the programme and extra animation.
An international event with so much more to offer! Each city may give its own
local edge to this international project with its own set of economic,
social and cultural players.

the realisation that there are very few places for disabled persons in cinemas.
Of these short films which are both moving and dynamic, Prefect Parisot says
« the festival is totally original and centers on the greatness of living together not
despite but with disability grandeur», with the support of 3 world
handisport champions and jury members, (Marie-Amélie Lefur, Orianne Lopez,
