We graduated :)
A bit late to the graduate posting and missing quite a few people in these photos. But I think they capture the day pretty well. I will cherish all the memories with lots of love ❤️
The selections for world premieres at La Cinéf at @festivaldecannes 2026 have been announced and the National Film & Television School is celebrating a landmark double selection for @nftsfilmtv student-made films!
🌟 The teams behind animated short Pickled and fiction short Left Behind, Still Standing will be heading to Cannes in May - some returning for the second year in a row, following the La Cinéf success of their first year film Ether in 2025.

✨ Thank you so much @cinemed for selecting our short film DIORAMA ✨🌸
It was an honour to be part of such a wonderful festival. I am always amazed by the incredible passion French people have for cinema, and I felt so welcome in Montpellier. This is such an important festival showcasing wonderful films across the Mediterranean, and I truly hope to come back in the next years!
Here’s a few film snaps from the wonderful town of Montpellier ❤️
