Chennai, March 21 (IANS): Southern composer Ghibran, who co-produced the short film "Swayer Corporations", is delighted that it has been selected in the short films category in the upcoming Cannes International Film Festival.

The festival is scheduled to take place from May 14-25.

"Swayer Corporations" is directed by Ghibran's childhood friend Rathindran R. Prasad for Turkish producers Basak Gaziler Prasad and Hakan Kantarli.

"I am happy to be a part of this short film. The film is about an angry young environmental activist who is on a journey to kill a CEO of a chemical company. It is shot entirely on East Coast Road in a short span of four days. Though the film does not have any background music, I played an entirely different role in this film," Ghibran said in a statement.

"I handled the production execution part in India. I'm happy to be part of this Cannes-nominated project. I congratulate the producers and my friend Rathindran," he added.
