Cinemania 2018 Awards


CINEMANIA 2018 AWARDS

Mel Hoppenheim Audience Award
LE GRAND BAIN by Gilles Lellouche
The public has chosen to crown this film after two packed film screenings at the the MAA Sports Club swimming pool, where the festival-goers also had a chance to meet the director who was present at the screenings.



Among the favourites of the public, LE GRAND BAIN was closely followed by these films:

MADEMOISELLE DE JONCQUIÈRES by Emmanuel Mouret
EDMOND by Alexis Michalik
DOUBLES VIES by Olivier Assayas


Prix jeunesse francophone TV5

A jury of young Franco-Québécois professionals chaired by actress Sophie Desmarais was entrusted with the award of the Best First Film Award. For the accuracy and sensitivity of writing, the strength of the subject and the questioning it raises, the TV5 Francophone Youth Award was awarded to Meryem Benm'Barek for her film SOFIA.


A special mention of the jury

Awarded to the film THOSE WHO WORK by Antoine Russbach for his directing and the remarkable performance of Olivier Gourmet.
