i'm sure one of these is an Arab European production  about the 80's war in lebanon and another movie is about an Iranian prostitute

Fair Game – Dir: Doug Liman

Huh?

Fair Game – Dir: Doug Liman

Huh?

Yup starring Naomi Watts and Sean Penn, not that Baldwin brother and Cindy.

A friend has two films being shown at the Cannes in the short film corner. Both produced here in the UAE.

[X.]

Short Film Corner does not mean the film was *selected*. It is a market and anyone who can afford to send a print is allowed to exhibit in that section, provided it has some intrinsic creative value.

The only films that are truly *selected* belong to CINEFONDATION (STUDENT FILMS), COMPETITION (FEATURES AND SHORTS), OUT OF COMPETITION or UN CERTAIN REGARD. That's it, really.

Abbas Kiarostami film starring Juliette Binoche, should be interesting...
