Francis Gavelle

Member and Coordinator of the Short Film Commission of the Cannes Film Festival’s Critics’ Week since 2001, Francis Gavelle is producer of a radio program dedicated to literature and music in Paris and a programmer of numerous screenings of art/experimental film. He has also participated as an actor in several short films. While he regrets not having presented Patricia Riggen’s La milpa in Cannes, he is delighted to have revealed to La Croisette audiences films such as Gerardo Tort’s La Partida, Salvador Aguirre’s and Alejandro Lubezki’s De Mesmer, con amor o Té para dos, and Venezuelan Lorenzo Vigas Castes’ Los elefantes nunca olvidan, produced by Guillermo Arriaga. With great impatience, he anticipates new discoveries.
