deadline.com:

Quentin Tarantino will attend Cannes Directors’ Fortnight as a guest of honor on May 25 for a special event consisting of a secret screening and a discussion on his counter-history of cinema, the parallel sidebar has announced. “In 1969, in Cannes, the Directors’ Fortnight was born, a counter-programming of free-spirited films from all over the world.

In 1969, in California, a new generation of filmmakers rose against old Hollywood,” the Cannes parallel sidebar said in a statement. “Of this, Quentin Tarantino has recently published a captivating analysis in a critical essay on 1970s cinema.

As an exceptional and generous cinephile, Tarantino is at home at the Fortnight. He will be our guest this year to present a secret screening and discuss his counter-history of cinema.

A rockabilly vibe on closing day.” By subscribing, I agree to the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. This site is protected by reCAPTCHA Enterprise and the Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Service apply.
