Life is too short to watch long movies.
DREAMS
18th Edition (2026)
At 18, Cabriolet hits that in-between moment—where dreams are no longer just ideas, but something you might actually go after.
Like anyone coming of age, the festival is curious, a little restless, and ready to explore. It’s a time to imagine freely, question everything, and step into the unknown.
Eighteen is when dreams stop being quiet thoughts and start becoming who you are.
Now, Cabriolet is dreaming with open eyes:
dreaming of new voices, new visions, new horizons;
dreaming of films that challenge, provoke, comfort, and awaken;
dreaming of stories that connect us across skies, streets, and cultures.
As the festival grows, so do its dreams—bolder, sharper, and impossible to ignore.
This year, we invite filmmakers from around the world to explore what it means to dream: to imagine, to question, to resist, to rebuild. Whether your dream is soft or chaotic, personal or universal, grounded or completely unreal—we want to see it.
Let’s celebrate the freedom to imagine, and the courage to follow through.
Screening Program
Step into a world of stories told through short film.
This year’s edition brings together voices and styles from around the globe: animation, comedy, drama, documentary, and everything in between.
Some will make you laugh, some will stay with you, and some might catch you off guard.
That’s kind of the point.
Workshops & Activities
Beyond the screenings, this year’s edition expands into a full program of workshops, talks, and cultural activities across all host cities.
From acting workshops to cinema seminars, from hikes to musical nights, it’s a space to learn, exchange, and be part of the process—not just watch it.
More than a festival… it’s an experience.
