Participate in the 13th edition of the Mobile Film Festival
1 Mobile, 1 Minute, 1 Film. Become a director simply using a mobile phone. This is the challenge...
The competition’s winners, announced on 28 February at the mk2 Bibliothèque multiplex, by the jury presided over by the actress and film director Emmanuelle Bercot, highlighted the wealth of talent among film directors, scriptwriters and actors and how mobile films can make us laugh, shudder, or reflect on life.
Once again this year, the Mobile Film Festival’s award-winning film directors took up the extraordinary challenge of telling a story in one minute, expressing their great talent and creativity. The winning films were amusing and full of emotion, of intrigue, but above all provided a lucid and highly astute view of the world around us. This year, the themes referred to gender equality, violence against women, hidden female beauty, forced marriage, and the refugee crisis.
The prizes were awarded by the jury, presided over by the film director Émmanuelle Bercot and composed of Kim Chapiron, Emilie Dequenne, Maïmouna Doucouré (best 2017 short-film César winner), Julie Gayet, Laurent Grégoire, Jalil Lespert and Aïssa Maïga.

Actor, film director and member of the Mobile Film Festival jury
For the past 12 years, the Mobile Film Festival has been unearthing and promoting fresh talent through the organisation of a competition with very simple rules which is open to all-comers: 1 mobile 1 minute 1 film. The Mobile Film Festival has adapted to current modes of creation and consumption and obliges film directors to deliver intense scriptwriting and screenplay in order to trigger strong emotions in a very short space of time.
BNP Paribas is a partner to the Festival for the 7th year in a row and has awarded the two Grand Prizes: France and International, with each winner receiving a grant of €15,000.
