Festival Silhouette turns Paris, France’s Parc de la Butte du Chapeau Rouge into a giant outdoor movie theater from late August into early September, celebrating short films and the creativity of independent filmmaking. Each evening pairs open-air concerts with free international competition screenings on a big inflatable screen, followed by filmmaker talks and audience voting. Extra sessions and masterclasses at the Pavillon Carré de Baudouin keep the discoveries going beyond the park.
