Mission statement (ENGLISH)

Mission statement

The objective of Gros Méchants Films is to give alternative film makers a place to screen their work .

Film makers are invited to show their short films of 45 minutes or less in an environment devoid of competition. We propose that the public evaluates the movies following these criteria: the narrative, the visual and the fun aspects of the short, and that, at the end of the evening, the creators receive these comments on a written form.

The film genres preferred by Gros Méchants Films are fiction, action, science-fiction, horror, documentary, and experimental.

We hope that these screening evenings will help local film creators to meet, to network and to pave the way for future collaborations within this eclectic community.
