Create a TikTok film and win a trip to Festival de Cannes

Global competition #TikTokShortFilm brings the vertical movie to Cannes – and you have until April 8 to enter.

Social media giant TikTok is partnering for the first time ever with Festival de Cannes to host a short film competition.

Budding filmmakers can upload a scripted short – lasting anywhere from three seconds to three minutes – in the vertical format on TikTok, and use the hashtags #TikTokShortFilm and #Cannes2022. If the film is eligible, they’ll have a chance to win a cash prize and be flown to Cannes to participate in the renowned film festival.
