Awards & Special Prizes
The films chosen for the “Best of Future” selection by the jury are presented to the public at monthly screenings at Cineum Cannes.
Selected films are informed by the Festival, and no film is shown without the agreement of the director/production.
Note: at this stage, French subtitles are a “must-have” for all foreign-language films.
The public will vote for their favorite films, best representing the Future Wave of Cinema.
These votes are counted once a year, and a “Best of Future – Audience Award” will be presented to the year’s grand winner at our annual event.
We’re also organizing a Q&A session with the filmmakers who may be present (in person and by video).
Note: WFFiC does not require a world premiere, but appreciates being informed if your film is a world premiere, an international or European premiere (your premiere outside your country of origin), or a national premiere.
All monthly winners are automatically entered into the annual competition for a chance to receive a prestigious custom-made metal statuette, the “Luciole d’Or”, designed on the French Riviera, and the opportunity to have their film screened in Cannes, the world capital of cinema.
Note: we are not affiliated in any way with the “Festival de Cannes”.
Special Awards will be unveiled throughout the year leading up to the annual Awards Ceremony, to be held at the Cineum Cannes on June 15, 2024, where we’ll be hosting “Best of Future” screenings featuring some of the annual Grand Winners.

aesthetics, and/or their particularly brilliant performance in terms of direction, photography, editing, acting and/or soundtrack.
