The 2024 Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival official poster is out! it s a girl, NO it s a rabbit, or both?

We're delighted to unveil the official poster for the 46th Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival, designed by talented American illustrator Stacey Rozich.

This watercolorist offers us a fresco bursting with acidic characters and settings straight from her imagination and the short films that inspired her during her journey as a juror for the 2023 international competition. Can you identify the filmic references scattered throughout this poster?

In a mishmash of meticulously crafted details, she presents us with a bizarre bestiary, conjuring up the fantastical universe of Hieronymus Bosch (hence the title, inspired by one of his works), mixed with spirituality and color palettes drawn from both the Mexican culture with which Stacey is familiar, and 16th-century Indian paintings.

The world that Stacey Rozich stages offers us a multitude of story starters, like so many short films screened over nine days, leaving us free to begin, compose and end this narrative wherever we please, with a strong dimension imbued with mythology and folklore in the pure vein of pop art.

Once upon a time short films, from February 2 to 10, 2024 in Clermont-Ferrand, of course.

STACEY'S STATEMENT

"In the Autumn of last year I was delighted to receive the commission to create the poster for the 2024 season of Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival and to be a juror on the International competition at the 2023 festival.

It was my absolute pleasure to journey to Clermont-Ferrand, to meet and work with the festival team and most of all to watch many inspiring short films. Quite a few of them have stayed with me long after I had returned home to Los Angeles. I had a lot of rich material to work with."
