The Nikon Film Festival is an annual international short film competition organized by Nikon France, established in 2009. It is designed to encourage video creation and foster new cinematic talent, offering a unique concept where participants submit short films of 2 minutes and 20 seconds based on a specific theme. The festival is free to enter and open to everyone, regardless of their location or equipment used. It culminates in an awards ceremony in Paris, recognizing emerging filmmakers across various categories, and has historically provided winners with opportunities such as public screenings, a ceremony at Le Grand Rex, and eligibility for aid from the CNC (Centre National du Cinéma et de l'Image Animée) and broadcasting on Canal+.
