Like in previous years, Godot is participating again in the Google Summer of Code program for its 2021 edition. We selected 5 projects back in May, and the 5 students and their mentors have now been working on their projects for almost two months. We omitted to announce the projects formally (sorry about that!), but this first progress report written by each student will make up for it by giving a direct glimpse into their work.

Cinema, like all art, is highly romanticised. Much of this image is built around the director as the sole creator and artist of the film. That is why many video essays and simple conversations tend to focus only on big names. And don't get us wrong, this is totally justified: there are a large number of talented directors in the industry, which of course deserves attention.
