As part of a partnership between the Department of International Cooperation and the Sciences Po campus in Menton, students are taking part in the Le Temps Presse (No Time Left) short film festival as members of the jury for the Students’ Prize.

The Department of International Cooperation has supported the festival since it was first held in 2011. The event is part of a socially conscious cinema initiative, presenting short films from around the world on development issues.

For the third consecutive year, 150 students from the Middle-East-Mediterranean Campus attended the screening of five short films as members of the jury. Their selected film will win the Students’ Prize 2016.

The students’ participation in the festival is part of a partnership agreement between the Prince’s Government and Sciences Po’s campus in Menton. The agreement aims to raise awareness among the students – future decision makers in their countries of origin – of the challenges involved in international development.
