Inside our Soho House Shorts event at Cannes Film Festival

Earlier this year our filmmaking competition, Soho House Shorts, returned in partnership with Campari. Applicants were asked to write a short film focused on the elements of life that transform the ordinary into the extraordinary; each five-minute film was to be based around the initial concept of two people meeting in a Soho House bar.

A shortlist of 12 applicants was whittled down to three talented finalists, chosen from more than 400 submissions by members across the UK, Europe and Asia. Each finalist was given €15,000 to bring their film to life, alongside a trip to the Cannes Film Festival. Here, we hosted our own private Member Mixer to celebrate the three filmmakers in the Campari Lounge inside the Palais des Festivals. Guests gathered to hear a Q&A with the finalists and Soho House’s Group Film & Entertainment Director, Jo Addy, as they sipped on Negronis and enjoyed the views over Cannes.
