Today the Franco-American Cultural Fund has announced the films that will be featured in the Documentary and Shorts sections at COLCOA French Film Festival which runs from Monday, April 23 and runs through Monday, April 30 at the Directors Guild of America.

The Shorts section presented in association with Unifrance and TV5 Monde is comprised of an exclusive selection of 23 films, which will be in competition for the COLCOA Short Awards on April 29. This year, more than half of the selections are by women filmmakers and a quarter of the section are animated films. The COLCOA Shorts Competition will be available in the U.S. after the festival from May 4 to May 31, on the cinema-on-demand program of TV5 Monde, an Official Partner of COLCOA. GARDEN PARTY, which was presented in this section last year at COLCOA, received an Oscar® nomination in 2018 for Best Animated Short Film.
