The Lunch Date

Director Adam Davidson made THE LUNCH DATE while he was a student at New York’s Columbia University. The film went on to become a worldwide success. In 1990 it won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival for best short film, the Student Oscar from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences, Outstanding New Director by the Directors Guild of America and, in 1991, the Academy Award Oscar for Best Short Film.
