You no longer need millions of dollars and a distribution deal to win prizes at the Cannes Film Festival - just a mobile phone and a bit of ingenuity will do.

Turning 75 this year, the world's leading film gathering knew it needed a shot of youth and made TikTok an official sponsor.

"You might think that three minutes is short, but we really tried to judge them just as we would a film of 120 minutes," jury member and French director Camille Ducellier told an audience gathered for the prize-giving on Friday. But Panh was in positive mood as he introduced the prizes, telling the audience it was "amazing to feel the energy" from the films they had watched.

"It allows you to free yourself from the weight of all these decades of a horizontal screen, and to create a whole new visual style," she said.
