CRITICS’ WEEK GRAND PRIZE
Cinépolis Prize

Critics’ Week will present a very select program of seven feature films at Cannes with the goal of giving them greater exposure.

The films will compete for Critics’ Week Grand Prize that amounts to 5,000 euros, awarded by Cinépolis, the largest theater chain in Latin America. Journalists and movie critics will be the ones who choose the winning film by voting after each screening.
Cinépolis, which has collaborated with FICM since its first edition, has given this award for the past seven years as part of its effort to support new talent in film.

The presentation of Critics’ Week Grand Prize will be on Thursday, May 20, at 8 p.m. at the Espace Miramar, in Cannes.

Last Night!

The Morelia International Film Festival and Critics’ Week will end their activities in Cannes with a Last Night party to celebrate their solid ties with the winners of the last edition.

 The Last Night party will take place on Thursday, May 20, at 10 p.m. at La Playa Audi (in front of Hotel Miramar.)
