Clown International Film Festival

Clown International Film Festival — Paris-based independent film and screenplay competition

Clown International Film Festival is a Paris-based competition that has accepted independent films and screenplays across short, feature, documentary, animation and writing categories. Its recurring identity is a multi-format competition.

The festival’s published record shows a recurring seasonal competition model. Recent results and jury reviews on the official site confirm activity continuing into 2026. Current submission planning is based on the organiser’s latest dated call.

For filmmakers, the festival evaluates both completed films and screenplays. Its published categories have included short and feature work, documentary, animation and writing, with results released in recurring cycles.

The official site also publishes seasonal results, jury reviews and winner showcases. Category fit and the exact award route are therefore important parts of submission planning, with screenplay and film entries following distinct recognition tracks.

Each new call is assessed using the organiser’s current category, eligibility and deadline information.
