REGARD – Saguenay International short film Festival, one of the six biggest festivals in North America dedicated

exclusively to short films, is a landmark event that encourages up-and-coming filmmakers and film industry

professionals to exchange ideas and present their films to a large, enthusiastic public.

REGARD hosts a national and international competition where, last year, over $ 30,000 in cash awards and in-kind

services were awarded. The Festival also features various special programs and events such as retrospectives and

a « carte blanche ».

In addition, REGARD holds the only Short Film Marketplace in Quebec: discussion workshops, master classes,

public script readings, and happy hours. Plus, all the films submitted to the festival have been catalogued to provide

easy access for film industry professionals, programmers, buyers, journalists and short film fans to view the films at

our viewing stations, making the event more user-friendly. Over five days, the 2008 edition of the Festival received

near 30,000 attendees and over 200 film industry professionals.

Don’t forget ! You have until November 13 5PM to read the rules and to register online by filling in our application

form on the Saguenay International Short Film Fest’s website, www.caravane.tv

NOTE: Every short film that has already been submitted to the Festival will be considered for the DVD. There are no

entry fees for the compilation. Also make sure to clearly write “ONLY FOR THE DVD” on the application form.
