The Cannes Film Festival… as a subject of practical exercise.

Since the start of the 75th edition, film students from the Lycée Carnot, a few hundred meters from the Boulevard de la Croisette, have been playing leading roles in short films that they have produced from A to Z. By parodying films presented at the Palace.

“Each year, we try to immerse them in the event with internships, explains Jérémy Crunchant, one of their BTS teachers.

But with their exams, the second-year students were unable to participate.

We had the idea of ​​having them work on these small productions so that they would stay as close as possible to the subject.
