villeurbanne short film festival

Got my film festival quota in yesterday with a screening of four short films in the Francophone Competition category at the Villeurbanne Short Film Festival. Every time I've heard French people talking about Villeurbanne, it's with an air similar to that which New Yorkers might talk about the South Bronx - far away, dangerous, and not really part of the city. Turns out that it's actually about 10 minutes away from the Hôtel de Ville by Metro and home to an indie movie theater. I didn't get a chance to walk around to much because I didn't know the area, but I wonder if there are other treasures to be found in that scrummiest of suburbs (pretty sure I made that word up)...
