Families' Albums (French: Albums de familles) is a Canadian animated short film, directed by Moïa Jobin-Paré and released in 2023.[1] Told without dialogue, the film presents an abstract representation of images from various family photo albums, constituting a reflection on the role of images in the construction and distortion of human memory.[1]

The film premiered at the 2023 Ottawa International Animation Festival,[2] and was later screened at festivals including the 2023 Festival du nouveau cinéma, the 2024 Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival,[3] and the 2024 Annecy International Animation Film Festival.[4]
