Silhouette Festival Paris 29 August to 6 September 2025: Short Films Under the Stars

A Unique Parisian Summer Tradition

Every late summer, as Parisians return from holidays and the city reawakens, one cultural event captures the imagination: the Silhouette Festival. Returning for its 24th edition from 29 August to 6 September 2025, the festival transforms the Parc de la Butte du Chapeau Rouge in the 19ᵉ arrondissement into an open-air cinema unlike any other.

This is not just about short films—it’s about community, music, and enjoying the final warm nights of the season. As thousands gather on grassy slopes with friends, picnics, and smartphones at the ready, the experience becomes more than a screening—it’s a collective Parisian ritual. Having reliable connectivity, such as through an eSIM, makes it effortless to share highlights, navigate programs, and coordinate with friends in the crowd.

What Makes Silhouette Festival Special

Free & Accessible

The festival is completely free, welcoming more than 20,000 visitors each year. It’s an inclusive celebration of short cinema where locals, tourists, and families can all enjoy the magic of film beneath the stars.

Diverse Programming

Silhouette’s programming balances entertainment and discovery:

  • International short films spanning drama, comedy, animation, and experimental works.
  • Live concerts each evening before screenings, turning the festival into a cultural double feature.
  • Daytime programs with documentaries, youth-focused screenings, and music videos.
  • “Rendez-Vous Cinéma” debates, where filmmakers and audiences meet for conversations.

Awards & Recognition

The festival also carries prestige, with multiple juries—professional, student, and public—awarding prizes such as the Grand Prix Silhouette and the Audience Choice Award. For filmmakers, it’s both a stage and a springboard.

The Atmosphere

What truly sets Silhouette apart is its vibe. Imagine: concerts at dusk, films at night, city lights in the distance, and audiences sprawled on blankets. It’s Paris at its most communal and creative.
