Spotlight on Côté Court 2025

Image for this story

For the past 34 years, the Côté court Festival has been a launchpad for bold, singular voices in cinema. Dedicated to films under one hour, the festival uncovers filmmakers and artists who shape the future of cinema, visionaries like Emmanuel Mouret, Justine Triet, Solveig Anspach, and Alain Guiraudie.
To celebrate the 2025 edition (June 4–14 at Ciné 104 in Pantin), LaCinetek presents a special selection of features and shorts by filmmakers who once screened at Côté court—some at the very beginning of their journeys.

From intimate portraits to radical storytelling, dive into the work of:
