The Just for Laughs Film Festival, in collaboration with Scene™, has just announced the jury members who will be selecting winners of the short film prizes for its 13th edition taking place in Montreal, from July 16 to 26. This year’s jury will be made up of 5 members of the entertainment industry, including David Greenbaum (Vice President of Production and Development, Miramax Films), Alex Epstein (writer, Bon Cop / Bad Cop), Melissa Auf de Maur (music artist from the band Hole and Smashing Pumpkins), Denis Côté (filmmaker, Carcasses) and Tendo Nagenda (Vice President of Production, Mandate Pictures). This year’s films will be competing for 2 Awards: 1 prize of $2000 for Best Short Film and 1 prize of $1000 for Best Quebec Short Film. With a record number of films being presented this year, the jurors will have the challenging task of making enlightened choices but will also surely fall prey to some serious laughing fits.
