Shorts Attack in May

5 Shortfilms from FESTIVAL DE CANNES in 82 minutes – with German subtitles

The films of the Festival de Cannes 2024 operate between reality and phantasm: a small wild animal in winter is hungry, the reflection of a relationship becomes dreamy, a girl in the pampas longs for the city, a train journey challenges sincere behavior, and a pregnancy turns into a magical thriller.

The Program:

The Palme d’Or winner THE MAN WHO COULD NOT REMAIN SILENT was nominated for an Oscar and got screened at the Oscar Shorts Live Action in March.
