Cannes 2010: Short Film Competition
A whopping 5000 submissions and only nine films accepted. That’s the nature of the Short Film Competition for the Cannes Film Festival. I plugged a couple of film titles into the search engine to see if there are some early glimpses — I uncovered some paintings from Serge Avedikian’s animated Chienne D’Histoire — a rather disturbing tale about how Paris rid the capital of vagabond dogs. Here are the lucky 9 who’ll compete for their own Palme D’or.
