2026 Short Film Palme d’Or

PARA LOS CONTRINCANTES
(AUX ADVERSAIRES / FOR THE OPPONENTS)
by Federico Luis

“It is an honor to be here while knowing that cruel things are happening right now. There is a bitter note to all of this. Few people care about what a little Argentine has to say, but regardless, I thank you and ask you to spread the word.”
– Federico Luis
