shootout 2026 is presented by the wonderful

with thanks to our special partners

each company has made a short film, edited entirely in-camera, on just one roll of super 8 film.
every film will be shown - no matter how, or even if, it came out. a live vote in the auditorium and trophy ceremony will be the climax of the show in cannes.

this will be the first time any of the companies have seen even their own work. sitting in a cinema full of industry colleagues in cannes, then again in london.

it’s not for the faint of heart: entered under the company name, each film is directed anonymously by anyone from an exec, to a seasoned director, to a runner with an eye for a great story.

there is no brief, beyond:
“what would you do with 2.5 minutes of the big silver screen and no opportunity to go back?”

see you there!
