New logo. New website. New artistic director. Olivier Pere exited to become the head honcho at Locarno, so the Director's Fortnight, also known as La Quinzaine des Réalisateurs, will be Frederic Boyer's baby this year. The mandate will remain the same, but will the tastes differ? Pere's legacy includes some of my favorites over the past decade such as Corneliu Porumboiu's 12:08 East of Bucharest, Anton Corbijn's Control, Ramin Bahrani's Chop Shop, Pablo Larraín's Tony Manero, Bong Joon-ho's The Host, Lodge Kerrigan's Keane and Im Sang-soo's The President’s Last Bang.
Last year's major coup was landing Francis Ford Coppola to present Tetro. While the film selections won't be named for another two weeks, I've decided to quickly list some titles that might show up in the section, and having spotted both curators in Park City this year, we can expect in upwards of two, or perhaps even three Park City titles to end up in this sidebar. This is usually a French film heavy section, here are some titles that could very well be there this year, or cross into a different Cannes section altogether. The titles below were on my initial list that I compiled back in February - I figure I'll get a couple of them right as I'm casting a wide net. The selections will be announced on April 20th.
