    The Cinéfondation, by looking out for creative talent wherever it arises, can be seen as a laboratory that enables the Festival de Cannes to play its forward-looking role to the full. Applying the same principles of artistic excellence and geographical diversity, the Cinéfondation performs its role upstream of the Festival selection processes.

    This year, the Selection of the Cinéfondation is screening 16 graduate films including two animated movies, representing eleven countries and three continents 1,589 films were viewed, originating from 360 film schools in 82 countries. Four new schools are represented this year and, for the first time, the selection features an Italian fiction entry! The jury, headed by Michel Gondry, will announce the three Cinéfondation Prizes on 20 May. Both sessions of the Résidence 2011 (21 and 22) will be represented at the Festival and the films will
    be screened by Cannes Short Films. The residents will present their scripts at a session held in the CNC pavilion and meetings will be organised with industry professionals who are interested in their projects

    The Cinéfondation was created in 1998. Its mission is based on three complementary strategies: The Cinéfondation Selection, which presents movies from film schools in the framework of the Official Selection, The Cinéfondation Résidence, which hosts twelve young directors in Paris each year to help them finalise the script of their first or second film, The Cinéfondation Atelier, which invites around fifteen international directors and their producers to Cannes to help them arrange additional funding to complete their projects.
