MegaCities-ShortDocs

Megacities-ShortDocs (MC-SD) is a very short film festival founded in 2014 in Paris by the NGO Films4SustainableWorld, supported by the City of Paris and the Grand Paris Metropolis. Our main goal is to inspire through short documentary films, other people, associations, businesses, and governments to set in motion new initiatives that contribute and lead towards a society that is more respectful of the environment, and offering greater solidarity among citizens. The association organises an International "very short documentary films" Festival under the theme of Cities, with a focus on MegaCities - urban areas of more than 10 million inhabitants - and since 2021, cities of smaller size (but more than 1 Million inhabitants). This festival highlights positive initiatives & unacceptable situations, and is open to anyone. Videos are 4 minute long maximum, they are, most of the time, filmed in the largest cities of the world and highlight solutions or actions that tackle urban challenges. These video testimonies, most of the time, self-produced by citizens, free-lances or students, from around the world, present initiatives with high social/environmental impact, successful examples of urban planning, that improve people's lives.
