About
The Bibliothèque François Villon hosts a special screening for the Animation Film Festival on Wednesday, October 14, 2026. From 16:00 to 17:00, director Pierre-Luc Granjon presents the program Même pas peur !, featuring the animated shorts Les bottes de la nuit and L'automne de Pougne. This session invites audiences to explore nocturnal forests and a kingdom where stories mysteriously disappear from books. The event is free of charge and the library venue is fully wheelchair accessible. It is an ideal afternoon for those who appreciate poetic storytelling and the craft of animation in a welcoming public space.
While his parents are hosting friends, a child leaves the house in the middle of the night and enters the woods, wearing rubber boots. There, a strange, curious, and solitary beast will lead him into the heart of the forest to meet the nocturnal creatures that live there, and, in order not to be alone again, will try to delay the child's departure as much as possible.

Immediately, the good King Balthazar becomes bored to death, dragging his entire people into a deep depression. "That is Boniface the storyteller's fault again!" exclaims Pougne, the grumpy hedgehog. But how can he be so sure?
