After a 40-year career at Unifrance, Christine Gendre retired on March 31, 2026. We pay tribute to her years at Unifrance and her dedication to short films, as well as the many initiatives she developed within the department, such as the creation of the Unifrance Short Film Award, the partnership with the Dakar Court festival, and the professional breakfasts in Clermont-Ferrand, to name just a few. We wish her all the very best.
Starting in April, the short film team consists of:
- Laurence Reymond, Head of Short Film – XR Department
- Tiziana D'Egidio, Short Film Officer
- Ainhoa Jauregui, Short Film Executive
As it does every year, Unifrance has updated its short film guide, which lists the various forms of support for short films offered by the organization and the relevant contacts.
