CMF is thrilled to be onsite at the 2011 Cannes International Film Festival in the South of France where we are sharing 30 of the top CMF movies at the Cannes Short Film Corner. These movies will be available in a digital library reaching thousands of festival goers from around the world. We'll be walking the red carpet to watch major movie premieres, interviewing celebrities and filmmakers, and enjoying the company of film lovers from across the globe. If you're attending the Cannes Film Festival we encourage you to stop by the CMF booth at the Short Film Corner located inside the Palais.
For the fifth year, CMF participants, in coordination with Creative Minds in Cannes (CMiC), have internships with various organizations present at Cannes. Additionally, filmmakers can take on the challenge of writing, shooting and editing their own film while on-site in the French Riviera. CMiC provides opportunities for participants to connect with companies that can launch their careers and provides workshops and access to screenings and parties while at the festival.
