Finalists of our partner festival French Riviera Film Festival
Scheduled from July 10-14, 2021, the third annual French Riviera Film Festival (FRFF) is pleased to announce the finalist shorts of the 2021 competition, the announcement was made today by festival co-founders Gotham Chandna and Nicole Goesseringer Muj.
“While the Festival de Cannes has decided to go on this year, we have opted to hold our festival online again,” adds Goesseringer Muj. “We look forward to returning to Cannes in May 2022 to hold our festival live at The Eden Hotel on Rue d’Antibes, as well as virtually for those who can’t make it to the Riviera.”
As part of the program during the 2021 Festival de Cannes, FRFF will also feature the fourth annual Global Entertainment Showcase to kick off the virtual festival on July 10. The showcase, usually held live in the International Village at the Palais des Festival in Cannes, will also be held online this year.
The festival will culminate on Bastille Day, July 14th with a special online awards ceremony to air on It's A Short to feature live and pre-recorded segments, celebrity hosts and guests, musical performances, and some surprises. Special Lifetime Achievement and Industry Excellence awards will be presented in person at an exclusive reception at the iconic Beverly Hills Hotel. Additional details to be provided shortly.
