While much of Cannes is spent sitting in a dark auditorium, soaking up inspiration (and perhaps a gentle snooze post lunchtime rosé), this film craft workshop is a chance to get your hands dirty and actually create something.  

According to data analysts, in two years' time, 77 per cent of advertisers will be producing six-second ads - but could they really be the feature length film of the future? 

Great Guns director, Jonty Toosey, certainly reckons so - and to that effect he's leading a specialist workshop, Stories in 6, to help people master ther art of the super-short format and create content that people will take notice of.   

FCB Inferno’s creative director Becky McOwen-Banks and Amp.Amsterdam’s creative director and partner, Diederik van Middelkoop, will also be lending a hand at the workshop, which gives attendees the chance to create their own six-second masterpieces using props and themes. 

After exploring six film themes, six basic human emotions, six deadly sins, and six basic plots, you'll be challenged to write, storyboard, direct (and star in!) your own film. 

Best of all, the workshop is running twice during the week, so if you miss the inaugural session (again, blame it on the lunchtime rose) you can catch it again on Thursday. 

Check out the teaser video below:

 

 

Stories in 6 is at 15.00 today (Wednesday 20th June) and at 11am, Thursday 21st June at the Palais des Festivals.
