Contact: [email protected]
Dear YDA friends, fasten your seat belts and no smoking!
First off, we have never received as many fantastic, top quality entries to the
competition. Every film was scrutinised and heavily debated over by leading
production & agency figures. We finally came to a not so short shortlist that we
wish to share with you.
Winners will be announced at The Cannes Marriott Theatre, celebrating the 19th
CFP-E/shots Young Director Award ceremony on June 23 from 3PM – 7PM.
Congratulations to all Young Directors who have reached the YDA Shortlist 2016.
