The Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival, in central France, is the largest of its kind in the world, with more than 500 films screened during a week-long event. Its African Perspectives section this year tackles themes from social media to colonial archives.
Tim Redford, in charge of the festival's international competition and the African Perspectives section, says it acts as a cultural barometer, measuring the level of short film production around the world.
