Léa Favre's film at 2026 Nuits en Or

Les Nuits en Or is an yearly event which brings together a selection of films honored by Cinema Academies around the world. In 2026, the program features 36 short films and is presented in several major cities: Athens, Lisbon, Luxembourg, Madrid, Mexico City, Rome, Vienna, and others. The program for Les Nuits en Or 2026 was unveiled for the first time during a screening event at MK2 Nation in Paris.

Hunting (2025), the Bachelor Cinema graduation film directed by Léa Favre , is part of this selection. In this animated short film, Léa sets out in search of a subject for a documentary film. Upon arriving at the stadium overlooking the city — her hunting ground for the day — she meets an older man who is unlike any other. Just as she thinks she has finally caught her prey, the tables turn. The hunter becomes the hunted.

Hunting has already won numerous awards, including Best Film at the 2025 Fantoche Internationales Festival für Animationsfilm (Baden), Best Graduation Film at the 2026 Swiss Film Awards, and the Golden Horseman Youth Jury at the 2026 FilmFest International Short Film Festival (Dresden). The film has also been screened at numerous festivals in Europe and around the world.
