The festival's friends

Children's books' festival

A 40 year old festival promoting children's books and encouraging them to read. For the 2026 edition, the collaboration initiated last year continues, featuring dramatic readings in English by the Mumbo Jumbo company and the screening of a short film.

We are made from stories. Our house is a home of invention where anyone at all can come for imagination is free." Oliver Jeffers. Mumbo-jumbo is a theatre company whose work centers on three key elements: the English language, the imagination, and non-verbal communication. This year, as part of the children’s book festival, they will present animated readings of works from British children’s literature.

Normandie Images

The Normandie Images agency works to develop cinema and audiovisual production in Normandy.
It supports creation and production, as well as hosting film shoots, promotes the distribution of works, and encourages innovative practices.
This year, the SHORT UP festival is organizing a theme afternoon on film music in collaboration with Normandie Images and the Normandy Region.

This association, run by Pierre Balouhey, promotes and encourages, through humour, friendship between people. As this is also the aim of SHORT UP, we have been working together for three years now, presenting an exhibition of press cartoons on loan from France Cartoons at the same time as the festival, providing a complementary vision to the films.

The International festival of caricature

This cartoon show is held every year in Saint Just-Le-Martel and Steve Bell, cartoonist for the Guardian and friend of the festival, is often invited to both Saint Just and Rouen for joint exhibitions, such as the latest Bell Brochette.

It offers, in addition to a dozen or so new feature films, activities around British cinema and culture. The closing night is always dedicated to short films, with a free screening after the awards ceremony of the feature film competition. A selection of TIE shorts is screened every year.
