Pimp my movie (5)

Festival start: 11 March 2025      Festival end: 12 March 2025

Pimp My Movie is a festival aimed at young filmmakers (under 30) who want to improve their short films. The Cinémergence association supports the filmmakers by giving them access to more technical, logistical and financial resources. The aim is to help them improve their films through post-production aid.

The shortlisted films will be presented to a jury of industry professionals at our festival in spring 2025. The winners will receive one of our 3 prizes to support them in post-production and pimp their films!

Jury prize: The short film awarded this prize will enable its director to obtain audiovisual training of his choice. This award rewards the unique vision of the director and encourages his career as an author

Creative Prize: The winner of this prize will obtain post-production assistance targeted at VFX and color grading. It rewards the originality and creative ambition of the project

Lab Prize: The short film awarded this prize will benefit from post-production assistance (editing, mixing and calibration). It rewards the quality and technical potential of the project.
