Translations:

1.- Vicent Lindon (actor and President of the Official Jury): "The world we live in today and the things that surround and happen to us change our human state. Whether it is the state of women or men".

2.- Vicent Lindon: The last two years and especially what is happening for a few months, we have to pay attention and be dignified, respectful, not too familiar,intelligent and try to stay upright for those who have it much, much, much more complicated than us.

4- Vincent Lindon (actor and President of the Official Jury): "Films go through the heart before going up to the brain. They generate emotions. No aprioris, either because we have already seen seven films directed by women or seven films directed by men, or if they have previously won any award or none, or if it is their first collaboration with the festival".
