The Online Short Film Contest is a short film competition organized by the NFB in association with the Cannes Film Festival and YouTube. It features 10 short films previously selected from over a thousand entries in the Short Film Corner, Cannes’ venue for filmmakers from 80 countries around the world.
The winner – determined by the number of “likes” tallied on YouTube – will be revealed at Cannes on May 19. The director of the winning film receives a digital camera/HD video recorder and laptop computer. Voting is open from May 5-18 and anyone can be part of the jury.
