The dossier of this number focuses on the short film industry and the new programme of the French government designed for its support.

Of special interest is the article on Banlieues d'Europe, a European wide network promoting social cohesion and equal opportunity through culture at local level. Worth noting is also the presentation of Vivre les villes, an event in 150 French towns which raises awareness about the city and its architecture.
