Start Me Up!: Cannes Director’s Fortnight Selections
In the list we find three items on my “Top 100 Most Anticipated Films of the Year in: Fabienne Berthaud’s Pieds nus sur les limaces (see pic of Diane Kruger above), Cam Archer’s Shit Year and Alistair Banks Griffin’s debut film, Two Gates Of Sleep. Also included in the section is a doc-essay film from Michelangelo Frammartino that I’ll be itching to see as well. Of the veteran auteurs, we have works from Christoffer Boe, Jean-Paul Civeyrac, old school High School doc filmmaker Frederik Wiseman and look for the Rolling Stones to be on hand for Stephen Kijak’s Stones In Exile..
You can say that there’ll be plenty of virgins in this year’s Director’s Fortnight section. Quickly looking at the list of 22 feature films, Frédéric Boyer’s very first edition appears to be heavy on first time works – exactly half of the section are newbies.
