This year's festival was also the opportunity for uniFrance Films to launch its new BtoB service created for use by international film festivals, buyers, and distributors. The Short Film Gallery makes use of new technological advances in the digitization of content to allow movie professionals worldwide (available to those who are included in the uniFrance Films database and benefit from specific access rights) to view French short films in full, in connection with festival selections or rights acquisition for distribution or broadcast (theatrical, TV, VOD, Internet, etc.), or for any other use approved by the films' copyright owners.
The Short Film Gallery is compatible with iPhone and iPad technology (excluding subtitling at this stage) as well as Android tablets (including the subtitling facility).
