The Hat (French: Le Chapeau) is a Canadian animated short film, directed by Michèle Cournoyer and released in 1999.[1] Told entirely without dialogue, the film centres on an exotic dancer's flashbacks to childhood memories of sexual abuse.[2]

The film was screened in the International Critics' Week section of the 2000 Cannes Film Festival.[3] It was also screened at the 2000 Toronto International Film Festival,[1] where it was named the winner of the award for Best Canadian Short Film.[4]

It subsequently won the Jutra Award for Best Animated Short Film at the 3rd Jutra Awards in 2001,[5] and was later named as one of the 100 best animated films of all time in a critics' survey by Variety.[3]
