German director, writer and producer Maren Ade (Toni Erdmann, Everyone Else) will preside over this year’s Cannes short film competition jury, as well as the jury for the La Cinef lineup of student films.
Joining Ade on jury duty are King Richard director Reinaldo Marcus Green, French singer/songwriter Camélia Jordana, Croatian writer/director Nebojša Slijepčević (The Man Who Could Not Remain Silent), and José María Prado, the former Director of the Filmoteca Española. Together they will award the Short Film Palme d’Or and the 3 La Cinef prizes.
Cannes on Friday announced the 11 short films and 16 La Cinef student works picked for its 2025 selection. The festival said more than 4,700 shorts were submitted this year.
