Cannes’ Directors’ Fortnight And Short Films Lineup

Lineup for Cannes' 41st edition of Directors' Fortnight has been fully announced Friday in Paris.

Francis Ford Coppola turned down Cannes' non-competing slot, but his latest “Tetro” will open the program. “After Coppola announced that he wouldn't show “Tetro” out of competition, we asked to screen it for the Quinzaine. We loved it! And our enthusiasm convinced Coppola that an opening Fortnight slot would be the ideal place to debut his film,” Fortnight topper Olivier Pere said.

With five features, including “Tetro,” U.S. directors have a stronger presence in the Fortnight than in Cannes' Competition.
The U.S. selection also includes “I Love You Phillip Morris,” directed by Glenn Ficarra and John Requa which stars Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor; lowbudget comedy “Humpday,” written and directed by Lynn Shelton; Josh and Benny Safdie‘s “Go Get Some Rosemary” and immigrant indie dramedy “Amreeka” directed by U.S.-born Palestinian/Jordanian Cherien Dabis.
