Nipkow alumna Carla Simón continues to shine! 💫💫💫

Golden Bear-winning Nipkow alumna Carla Simón will preside over the jury for short films and the La Cinef prize at this year’s Cannes Film Festival 👏👏👏

The Spanish director took part in Nipkow Programm in 2018 to work on her project "Alcarràs", which went on to win the Berlinale’s top prize in 2022. Carla's latest work "Romería" was selected for Cannes Competition last year 🤩

“A short film is a whole universe. In just a few minutes it can leave a lasting mark forever. Created in freedom, driven by artistic risk, and above all infused with soul, it reconnects me with the essence of cinema and the excitement of first times. Even for those who work in feature filmmaking, the short form remains a vital space for experimentation and renewal. I am deeply honoured to serve as President of the Short Films and La Cinef Jury, and grateful for the opportunity to discover new voices and be transformed. Returning to Cannes is, once again, an adventure, a dream and a privilege.” - Carla Simón, President of the short films and La Cinef Jury
