Shorts Attack im November 2020

6 films in 85 minutes – with German subtitles

Once a year the whole (film) world looks to Cannes. Every year in May the Festival de Cannes takes place here, one of the most important film festivals of all. But while the feature films from the competitions quickly make their way to the cinemas afterwards, the many great short films in the ‚Sélection Officielle‘ continue to live a shadowy existence, wrongly so. Until now! For the first time interfilm presents a selection of the best short films of the 2019 Festival de Cannes and brings them exclusively to German cinemas.

A young man is literally fighting for his future and that of his father, the Ukrainian Anna is looking for a new beginning through a marriage brokerage, and two strangers come closer to each other in the nightly glow of a gas station while a dark animation depicts the emotions of a rejected boy. Great stories and chance encounters, personal destinies and intimate moments tell in this program of life realities, desires and hopes, of striving for a better life and of what remains on the way.
