Expanding the inclusion efforts to the Palais des Festivals, Diversity in Cannes will host two professional screenings in the Cannes Short Film Corner. The 'Global Women of Color Film Screening' Wednesday May 22, 2019 3:30 PM in theater F, followed by the 'Black Lives Black Stories Matter Screening', featuring 2019 Student Academy Award Winner, "Lalo's House" starring Garcelle Beauvais and produced by Jamie Foxx.
"I'm honored to present the second Diversity in Cannes 'Global Women of Color in Film Screening' at the Cannes Film Festival's Short Film Corner.
