The Cinéfondation Selection: Programme 4
Six medium-length and short films have been selected from among 2,400 submissions from film school students to the Cinéfondation for the 2017 Festival de Cannes. We asked each student to give us one good reason why we should watch their film.
The 4th programme consists of the following works, to be screened in the Buñuel Theatre on 26th May at 11 a.m.
Vazio do lado de Fora (Empty on the Outside) by Eduardo BP
Brazil – 22 minutes
Houses and streets are demolished, leaving nothing but bodies and shattered lives. This film was shot in Autódromo, a district in Rio which survived the attempt to destroy it in 2016.
Deux égarés sont morts by Tommaso Usberti
France – 27 minutes
Vera et Matteo experience their first rendez-vous as lovers against the backdrop of a wild landscape. The girl's father surprises them and attacks the boy. A fierce fight ensues, in which Matteo knocks the man out. Vera asks Matteo to take her dancing, but he is distraught and flees.
Camouflage by Imge Özbilge
Belgium – 6 minutes
The story of a forbidden friendship which blooms in the secret garden of the city in which East meets West. This animation, inspired by Ottoman miniatures and by Jérôme Bosch, transports us into a mysterious and surreal world – a reflection of the director's reality.
Yin Shian Bien Jian Gon Lu (Towards the Sun) by Wang Yi-Ling
Taiwan – 28 minutes
The story of two people on the fringes of society, who help each other and set themselves new goals during a car journey.
The Cinéfondation Prizes will be announced by the Jury, presided by Cristian Mungiu, on Friday 26th May at 4.30 p.m. at a ceremony in the Buñuel Theatre, followed by a screening of the winning films.
