THE NICOLAS BAUDIN AWARD

 

Created as part of the celebrations of the bicentenary of the discovery of the Southern Lands by Captain Nicolas Baudin, the Nicolas Baudin Prize rewards an Australian or New Zealand short film. This year, it will be awarded by a jury made up of students from the Saint-Tropez region's high schools, among which the Lycée du Golfe de Saint-Tropez. One or several "chaperone(s)" - film and television industry professionals - will guide them. On the one hand, it is a fantastic opportunity for these young people to have an in-depth look at the work of aspiring directors, on the other hand, the perception of their films by a young audience is an interesting feedback for the Antipodean filmmakers themselves.

francoisvincentelliPatron of the Short Film Competition: François Vincentelli

A Belgian actor of Corsican origin, François first discovered comedy in his high school drama workshop. He began his film career in L'année de l'éveil (The Year of Awakening), and went on to play in Tanguy (2001), De l'autre côté du lit (Changing Sides, 2008), The Tourist (2010), L'exercice de l'état (The Minister, 2011), Au cul du loup (Miles from Anywhere, 2011) and Raid Dingue (2017). His television work includes the series Frank Riva, Clara Sheller and Scènes de ménages, as well as a number of TV movies, such as L'Inconnu de Brocéliande.
