Cannes: Premios de la Cinefondation

Era la única competencia que participaba un filme argentino. No se llevó ningún premio.

"Baba," a psychological drama directed by Czech Zuzana Kirchnerova-Spidlova, won the top prize at the Cannes Film Festival's Cinefondation selection of short- and medium-length features from film school students worldwide Friday.

"Baba," which follows a young woman unwillingly caring for her dying grandmother, won E15,000 ($20,000). Pic will screen in Cannes' Official Selection next year.

Laurent Jacob, Cinefondation selection coordinator, said it was a milestone for a Czech film to win at Cannes.

A Chinese student from the Beijing Film Academy, Song Fang, took second prize for drama "Goodbye."

Third prize was shared by Israeli helmer Yaelle Kayam's "Diploma," about a Jewish settlement, and Korean suspenser "Don't Step Out the House," directed by Jo Sung-hee.
