The CAMERA D’OR is not a section, it’s a prize. All debut films selected compete for the Caméra d’or prize awarded to the best first film screened as part of the Official Selection (Competition, Out of Competition, Un Certain Regard), the Directors’ Fortnight, or the Semaine de la Critique.

 

THE SHORT FILM CORNER | RENDEZ-VOUS INDUSTRY – different from the Competition – is a space exclusively reserved for short films.

THE MARCHÉ DU FILM: in the framework of the Marché du Film, sellers and producers can organise paid screenings of their films. More info on the Marché du Film site.
