PARIS -- The Festival de Cannes on Wednesday named the six young filmmakers chosen to attend a four-month residence in Paris to prepare a movie project. Those selected by a jury headed by Gallic director Claire Denis are Brazil's Karim Ainouz, Argentina's Veronica Chen, Britain's Stephen Ellis, Finland's Kirsi Liimatainen, Hungary's Kornel Mundrunczo and Italy's Marta Parlatore. Mundrunczo's first film was selected in the Cannes sidebar Un Certain Regard in 2002, while Ainouz's directing debut screened in the Directors' Fortnight sidebar this year. The Festival Residence is organized under the auspices of the Cinefondation and provides an opportunity for filmmakers to develop a first or second feature-length movie.
