The symbolic Covid-19 edition of the Cannes Film Festival, which opened on Tuesday, came to an end hours after the terrorist attack at Notre Dame Basilica in neighbouring Nice. The festival paid tribute to the three victims of the knife rampage, before handing out the 2020 Palm awards. A total of eleven international short films, ranging from fiction, animation and documentary, were in competition at the 2020 mini Festival de Cannes, after the main event in May was cancelled due to the Covid-19 crisis. At the end of the three-day festival, the Golden Palm for Best Short Film was awarded to the Egyptian film I’m afraid to forget your face by Sameh Alaa.
