The French Duck Film Festival (Freeduf) is an IMDb-qualifying annual event based in Paris that showcases French and international short films, encompassing both produced and self-produced works. The festival operates in two stages: quarterly intermediate sessions from October to July, and a main annual festival held in a Parisian cinema in September. Unique to the festival are its duck-shaped trophies awarded to top films and a scorecard evaluation system that provides filmmakers with feedback across eight categories. The festival aims to provide cinematic experiences, offering the possibility of distribution contracts to select films.
