Semaine de la critique – short films II

Kino Ponrepo
As usual, audiences at the Kino Ponrepo will have the opportunity to see the complete collection of short films that were screened at this year’s Cannes International Film Festival as part of the official Semaine de la critique competition section.
Semaine de la critique has been running since 1962 under the auspices of the French Association of Film Critics as a parallel section of the Cannes Film Festival. It aims to support the first cinematic endeavours of talented filmmakers from around the world, regardless of duration or genre. Filmmakers such as Bernardo Bertolucci, Leos Carax, Ken Loach, Jacques Audiard, François Ozon and Gaspar Noé all got their start here.
The official reflections of the Semaine de la critique competition section of the Cannes Film Festival are organised in collaboration with the Kino Ponrepo cinema and the BOO International Short Film Festival.
