The 36th Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival came to an end with its closing ceremony and awards presentation held Sunday, February 8, 2014.
A French film was honored in this year's International Competition section, with Juke-Box by Ilan Klipper picking up the Special Jury Prize. In this film, the singer Christophe plays a version of his own image as a legendary pop star living a reclusive existence in his apartment. To celebrate the film, Christophe came to Clermont-Ferrand to perform his hit song Les Mots Bleus, to the delight of audiences (photo).
