Special Program from Cannes

Of the many short films shown at Cannes Film Festival last year, every one of them was very creative. The audiences were touched by deeply heart-felt stories, told within very short periods. Out of those amazing films, a selection will be shown, so now you can see some of the Cannes films right here in Japan! (Naomi Kawase, President of both the Cinefondation section and the Short Film Jury for Cannes Film Festival 2016.)
