Overview
Les Étoiles du court-métrage ont été créées en 2007 à Pau par Vidéo Toute Tendance. Elles ont ensuite été « transférées » en 2010 à Mourenx puis se sont « éteintes ». Avec l’accord des membres fondateurs Didier LABAN et Jean LASSUS-PIGAT, la ville de Cabestany et Image In ont décidé de continuer l’aventure en organisant depuis 2012, les Étoiles du court dans la salle de cinéma André ABET. Ce concept unique en France, permet de présenter les meilleurs films primés dans les plus grandes manifestations (César, Clermont-Ferrand etc.) et les différents festivals de courts-métrages partenaires.
