Since the competition section of Cannes Short Film Festival only accepts films no longer than 15 minutes, other productions longer than this time limit can be submitted in the non-competition section of the festival, called Short Film Corner.
Shahrokh Dolkou’s ‘Unfortunately’ which exceeds the 15-minute time limit will feature in the short film corner at Cannes and will not compete for a prize. Dolkou’s film is the first Iranian film production that has ever been accepted for this section of the festival.
