TikTok is making its cinema. Official partner of the 75th edition of the Cannes Film Festival, the platform wanted to mark the occasion by launching the TikTok Short Film, a competition rewarding the best short films published on the platform. A first edition which was marked by the resignation Thursday evening, then his reinstatement the next day, of the Franco-Cambodian director Rithy Panh. The president of the jury, made up of three other filmmakers (Angèle Diabang, Camille Ducellier, Basma Khalifa) and star influencer Khaby Lame, had not accepted TikTok’s interference in the choice of winners.
