The prestigious Palme d'Or for short films will be awarded by the jury, chaired by Belgian actress Lubna Azabal, at the awards ceremony on May 25.
For its 27th edition, La Cinef has selected 18 films - 14 fictions and 4 animations - from among 2,263 short films submitted by film schools around the world. These include a Singaporean director in Australia, an Indian and a Lithuanian in the UK, a Russian in the Czech Republic and three American school films by Russian, Chinese and British filmmakers.
