Manatad’s short film, “Jodilerks dela Cruz, Employee of the Month” is an entry in the 56th International Critics’ Week of the 70th Cannes Film Festival, ongoing in the south of France until May 26.

Meanwhile, Brillante Ma Mendoza, who won Cannes best director for “Kinatay” in 2009, is back in the world’s glitziest cinema event—to mentor budding filmmakers at the 9th Fabrique des Cinemas du Monde. Between classes and meetings, Mendoza granted an interview to Cannes Radio, the fest’s official station.—BAYANI SAN DIEGO JR.
