SINGULARITY FILM FESTIVAL

Paris, France

Festival overview

About SINGULARITY FILM FESTIVAL

Physical film festival in Paris, France with submission categories including Category: Short Films and Category: Series Pilot.

Welcome to the Singularity Film Festival created and organized by HUGO LEDUC. Immerse yourself in the heart of Paris, where the Singularity Film Festival opens the doors to a universe where science fiction and fantasy come to life like never before.

The festival is divided into two categories: Out of Competition, dedicated to works screened freely, celebrating creativity and discovery without constraints; In Competition, where films are subject to an official submission and evaluated by a professional jury. Each edition begins with a signature short film — an immersive experience that instantly transports you into extraordinary worlds.

Open to all, the festival celebrates the richness and diversity of talents, styles, and imaginations, offering a vibrant and captivating spectacle. Through the competitive selection, IMDb qualification, and personalized support for filmmakers, each project gains increased visibility and recognition.

WHO IS HUGO LEDUC? (Organizer) Author and director, Hugo Leduc develops a universe anchored in thriller, science fiction and anticipation, through works with metaphorical dimensions exploring humans, time, memory and death. His work is distinguished by demanding stories, carried by an immersive staging and marked twists and turns.

He collaborates with actors such as Tom Vallejo, Benjamin Cotte, Marine Arlen, Jean Rigal, Paola Marques Dos Santos and Éloïse Le Baud. Strengthened by this background and confronted with the limits of diffusion of these genres in traditional circuits, he founded the Singularity Film Festival, with the ambition of broadening the visibility of science fiction, fantasy and thriller cinema, and of offering a structuring platform to emerging talents, of which he himself is a part.
