Here's the list of winners from the 67th Cannes Film Festival. Congratulations to all.
Simon Mesa Soto, winner of the Short Film Palme d’or for Leidi:

Numerous aspects regarding Colombia and, more generally, Latin America, have been condensed into the story of this film.”

Feel Flows (dir. Paris Zarcilla)

admin — Thu, 28 Nov 2013 00:27:27 +0000

Music-based short films are often difficult to categorise but that didn’t stop director Paris Zarcilla ploughing much of his own money into making this cinematic gem which took the Best Music-based Film award at this year’s Van d’Or Awards in September. Paris came down to November’s music-themed Screen Social in London and had a chat to us about the making and funding of the film. His interview (in the cupboard) will be appearing online soon, but for now just enjoy the film…

As described by it's director Kevin McGloughlin, this video for 'electronic chamber music' artists Idiot Songs, Villages Of Ether is 'set in the subconscious.
