Go Social Film brings the Festival de Cannes 2013 short films into focus with unparalleled coverage of the Short Film Competition and Cinéfondation Selection films and filmmakers. The multimedia film magazine introduces readers to the Cannes International Film Festival competition filmmakers through personal interviews, film clips, and social media links to filmmaker pages.

Films and filmmakers covered in the magazine’s special issue include competition Special Mention winners “Whale Valley” by Icelandic director Gudmundur Arnar Gudmundsson, and “37°4 S” by director Adriano Valerio from France.
