With the festival’s focus on women filmmakers this year (including an all-women jury), they’ve broken out the number of women filmmaker selections. In the short film competition 30% of the filmmakers were women while in the graduation films category there was an even 50-50% split between women and men.
The selection process was carried out by the festival’s artistic director Marcel Jean, and Laurent Million, Yves Nougarède and Sébastien Sperer from the Films & Program Planning department at CITIA [pictured below].
Feature film selections will be announced at the end of April.
