Cerermony - César 2023: Our look back at the Short Film Brunch ceremony

By Mulder, Paris, La companie 1837, 11 december 2022

For the first year, the Académie des César honors the directors and producers of the 48 short films, during a brunch that took place this Sunday, December 11, 2022. This Selection is accompanied by a pair of film sponsors, who are present to share their experience and encourage these new talents of emerging cinema.

This Sunday, December 11, 2022, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Techniques organized a new event around the Short Film. During a brunch, it gathered the directors and producers of the year's short films that will be submitted to the votes of the members of the Academy and thus compete for the César 2023. They have been chosen by the three Short Film Committees of the Academy and compose the Short Film Fiction Selection, the Short Film Animation Selection and the Short Film Documentary Selection César 2023.

This convivial meeting brought together :
- Félix Moati, godfather of the Short Film Fiction Selection César 2023 (Nicole Garcia, the godmother was absent because of bronchitis)
- Camélia Jordana and Aurel, godmother and godfather of the César 2023 Animated Short Film Selection,
- Yolande Zauberman and Éric Caravaca, godmother and godfather of the Documentary Short Film Selection César 2023.

This operation was also an opportunity to recall all the work that the Academy carries out throughout the year around the short film, with these three selections of films, the organization in February of screenings of short films nominated with the help of the Short Film Agency, or the operation "Golden Nights" in June.

The Short Film Brunch was organized with the support of Canal+, partner and broadcaster of the César Awards, which also supports the Academy in promoting short films.

The lists of 24 fiction shorts, 12 animated shorts and 12 documentary shorts were compiled by the César Academy's Short Film Committees from among the shorts that made their mark in 2022. They will be submitted to the votes of the members of the Academy and will be able to compete for the 2023 César Awards.

The Short Film Brunch is organized thanks to the support of Canal+, partner and broadcaster of the César Awards, which also supports the Academy in promoting short films.

In order to facilitate the voting of the Academy members for the César for the Best Animated Short Film, 12 short films have been selected by the Short Film Animation Committee. The 12 films are presented on the viewing platform set up for the members of the Academy.
