The straight 8 shootout returns for this year’s festival. Presented by APA and Cinelab Film & Digital, the festival’s favourite DIY film competition will premiere 20 short films at Cannes.

The competition is itself is heating up at Cannes Lions. Cannes Lions has unveiled its shortlist for Innovation Lions, Titanium Lions and the 2022 Glass: The Lion for Change. Shortlisted entrants are set to present their work to jury members virtually before the festival kicks off.
Girls Who Code’s ‘Dojacode’ campaign with musician Doja Cat has been tipped for success. To encourage girls to get into coding, the group created an interactive experience that enables participants to direct and code their own music video for Doja Cat. Adidas Women’s ‘Beyond the Surface’ is another strong contender. Each shot is based on a poem by Sudanese-British poet, basketballer and activist Asma Elbawadi.
