A few days ago, Cocorico... It's MICHEL GONDRY, the French director present in the selection in 2001 with Human Nature in 2008 with its triptych Tokyo! at Certain Regard, and in 2009 out of competition with the documentary portrait Thorn in the heart, who will chair this year the jury of short films and Cinéfondation, succeeding Atom Egoyan, Hou Hsiao Hsien, Martin Scorsese or John Boorman.
Michel Gondry, also videographer and musician, has sketched in seven feature films, some shorts and seventy music clips a deeply original work, tinted with dionirism and diutopia.

The Green Hornet (Green Frelon), currently on French screens since January 2011, is to date its greatest success in theaters.
The filmmaker has just opened at the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, his « Factory of amateur films », both creative studio and DIY workshop, where everyone can make a short film in three hours.
This gifted illusionist, with a generous imagination, will award the three Cinéfondation awards with his team on Friday, May 20, before presenting the Palme d'Or of the short film during the ceremony of the Palmarès on May 22, 2011.
