CANNES: The Cannes Film Festivals is not only about the big names
from cinema. And this is evident from the Cinéfondation that
Gilles Jacob and Pierre Viot created in 1998 to promote the discovery
of a new generation of filmmakers. An official selection of school
films was therefore presented during the Festival. This year, 17
films from Australia, Asia, Europe, North America and South America
were selected from the 1100 submitted.
The Jury presided by Andrei Konchalovsky and composed of Sandrine
Bonnaire, Tim Burton, Daniel Brühl, Souleymane Cisse and Zbigniew
Preisner awarded prizes to the following films:
1st Prize:- GE & ZETA - directed by Gustavo Riet, Universidad
del Cine, Argentina
2nd Prize:- MR. SCHWARTZ, MR. HAZEN & MR. HORLOCKER - directed
