We got the first round of Cannes Film Festival line-up last week, then the Critics’ Week contenders yesterday. Today, the line-up for Director’s Fortnight and Short Film competition has been released. Check out the line-ups below via Deadline and Twitch. Twitch also provides images for Irish director Rebecca Daly‘s debut in the Director’s Fortnight film The Other Side Of Sleep.
It’s worth noting that jury president Michel Gondry will award the Short Film Palme d’Or on the last day of the fest, May 22nd. Bright Star director Jane Campion and Lynne Ramsay, who directed this year’s competition title We Need To Talk About Kevin, both got their start in this competition. Check out the line-ups below and come back for our coverage straight from the fest.
