The first edition took place in 2003 in the faculty of Paris 7 - University Denis Diderot. The Unknown Festival was born in 2003 at the University Denis Diderot - Paris 7. The festival programme independent short films (many students films). It is this love of independence that is expressed when, at only five years old, the festival go to the Latin Quarter Film Library and La clef cinema - Images d'ailleurs .

    My film has been selected, but the screening date has passed with no indication that the event took place. All social media is down, no response to email. I hope the organisers are ok.
