Prends ça court!
In 1999, Danny Lennon launched ‘Prends ça court!’, which celebrates and supports short films from around the world, as well as Québécois cinema. He remains the programmer to this day. He is also the programmer and driving force of the Talent tout court initiative, established in 2012 in collaboration with Téléfilm Canada. Since 2005, he is one of the programmers for the ‘Coups d’♥’. Lennon contributes in every way possible to the promotion, distribution, airing and production of independent and professional short films on an international level. Danny also organises the Prends ça court! Gala, the biggest night of the year for Québec short films, whose 15th edition was a tremendous success! As Basta would say: “My rogue feet were made to trample kings”.
