Following the main line-up at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, the first sidebar has been unveiled. Directors’ Fortnight has revealed their enticing slate, including the opening film, Claire Denis‘ Juliette Binoche-led Un Beau Soleil Interieur (formerly Dark Glasses).
Also in the line-up is Abel Ferrara‘s Alive in France, Sean Baker‘s Tangerine follow-up The Florida Project, Philippe Garrel‘s L’Amant D’Un Jour, Bruno Dumont‘s Jeannette, L’Enfance De Jeanne D’Arc, and Jonas Carpignano‘s A Ciambra. Peculiarly, there’s also two previous festival films we were quite mixed/negative on, Patti Cake$ and Bushwick. Check out the full line-up below.
