More than ever, we need our storytellers—those young filmmakers who, in just a short narrative, can capture the humor of an exchange, the poetry of a romance, or the music of a life, and offer it to us in a short film, like a little spark of joy, while waiting to become the Toledano, Nakache, or Klapisch of tomorrow. Year after year, Happy Shorts tells small stories that warm our hearts, make us laugh, or make us want to sing.
