Short Film News (SFN)- The Film director Michel Gondry is to head up the short film and Cinéfondation jury of the 64th Festival de Cannes.

With his seven feature films, several shorts and seventy-odd music videos, Michel Gondry, who is also a musician, has created an incredibly original body of work coloured with dreamscape qualities and Utopian ideals.

In 1998, the Festival de Cannes created the Cinefondation to inspire and support the next generation of international filmmakers. Since then, with the help of the Festival, the Cinefondation has developed complementary programmes to help achieve its goal. 

The Festival de Cannes runs May 11-22 in France.
