The 22nd session of the film direction residency will lend support to first feature films put forward by Nathalie Saugeon, Jean-Baptiste Durand, Emmanuel Laskar, Pierre Mazingarbe and Edouard Salier. Selected by a jury presided over, this year, by Jean-Bernard Marlin, five young filmmakers have been chosen to participate in the 22nd session of the film direction residency intitled Emergence, a unique initiative in Europe which will provide the selected few with an opportunity to film two sequences of their first feature films, as well as offering them a mentor in the form of an established director, support in all things artistic, not to mention professional help with production. Nathalie Saugeon has been selected with her project Fils de. The story, which she wrote with Anne-Claire Jaulin, is centred on Rudy (14 years old) who has never met his father.

Xavier Dolan just can't stay away from the Cannes Film Festival. Last year's Special Jury prize winner for "Mommy" thought he should have won the Palm d'Or and now he'll be part of the jury deciding that prestigious honor. Oh, my. The Cannes Film Festival announced the Jury today which also includes Guillermo Del Toro, Jake Gyllenhaal Sienna Miller, Rossy de Palma, Sophie Marceau, Rokia Traore and Jury presidents Joel and Ethan Coen. That's quite a Hollywood contingent for Cannes most important clique. Almost always political and rarely unanimous, the Cannes Jury was led by Jane Campion in 2014. That group selected "Winter Sleep" as their Palm d'Or winner while many believed "Leviathan" or "Foxcatcher" deserved the honor. The Festival also announced its Director's Fortnight selections this morning. This is the section of the festival where "Blue Ruin" made its debut over the past few years. There are usually often one...

Monday we shared the lineup for the Cannes 2015 Critics Week, and now the complete lineup for the festival has been revealed with the addition of the Director’s Fortnight. 17 films in all will be screened over the two weeks, including a balanced mix of ones from established veterans and newcomers, as well as World Premieres and other festival darlings.
On opening night May 14, Philippe Garrel’s (Jealousy) In the Shadow of Women will make its World Premiere with a story about two romantically intwined documentary filmmakers experiencing a moment of betrayal. Director’s Fortnight will close with the Sundance hit Dope, which you can watch the trailer for here.
Also on the list is the much anticipated follow up to Blue Ruin, Jeremy Saulnier’s Green Room, starring Patrick Stewart. It’s one of three American films among the lineup. And as a special screening, Cannes attendees will get an...

Takashi Miike (Yakuza Apocalypse: The Great War Of The Underworld), Fernando León de Aranoa (A Perfect Day starring Benicio del Toro, Tim Robbins, and Olga Kurylenko) and Jaco Van Dormael (a top item on our most anticipated foreign films list, The Brand New Testament stars Catherine Deneuve, Benoît Poelvoorde, Yolande Moreau) are some of the veterans filmmakers joining the previously mentioned Philippe Garrel, Miguel Gomes and Arnaud Desplechin as part the 47th edition of the Directors’ Fortnight. Edouard Waintrop’s programming team happen to be the only ones to have selected Sundance Film Festival items this year with Rick Famuyiwa‘s Dope being selected as the closing night film and Chloé Zhao‘s Songs My Brothers Taught Me finds some love as well. Fellow American filmmaker Jeremy Saulnier also joins them — after having launched Blue Ruin in the section a couple of editions back, he now returns with Green Room.
