The 55th La Semaine de la Critique (Critics’ Week) of the Cannes Film Festival has unveiled its films, including a trio of shorts directed by actresses as the Closing Film; Chloë Sevigny’s Kitty, Laetitia Casta’s En Moi and Sandrine Kiberlain’s Smile.
The Jury President this year is Valérie Donzelli and her jury includes Alice Winocour, Nadav Lapid, David Robert Mitchell and Santiago Mitre. La Semaine de la Critique hands out the Grand Prix Nespresso and the Prix Révélation France 4 for feature films and the Prix Découverte Leica Cine to one of the shorts in competition.
