Here is one of the parallel branches of the Cannes film Festival, which will take place from 14 to 24 may 2009…
Always forgotten, never very well put forward, the Directors ‘ Fortnight , however, is a work apart in the Cannes film Festival.
Organized by the SRF (Société des Réalisateurs de Films), the Directors ‘ Fortnight program currently, twenty feature-length films (fiction and documentary) as well as a dozen short films.
The film that holds ? Without a doubt, Tetro by Francis Ford Coppola…
