Directors’ Fortnight—a parallel selection of the Cannes Film Festival that showcases a wide spectrum of films and highlights the most singular and visionary practices in contemporary cinema—has announced the complete list of the short and feature movies in competition at the 54th edition of the festival, which is scheduled to take place from May 18-27, 2022.
The 54th Director’s Fortnight opens with “L’envol (scarlet)” directed by Pietro Marcello and wraps-up with the screening of “Le Parfum Vert (The Green Perfume)” directed by Nicolas Pariser.
Created in 1969 by the French Directors’ Guild (SRF, Société des Réalisateurs de Films), the Directors’ Fortnight is a parallel selection of the Cannes Film Festival that showcases a wide spectrum of films and highlights the most singular and visionary practices in contemporary cinema.
The Directors’ Fortnight is a free-spirited and non-competitive selection and it is open also to non-professional spectators who attend the Cannes Film Festival.
Every year since 2002, the Fortnight has hosted the Carrosse d’Or award ceremony. This prize, awarded by the SRF, pays tribute to a filmmaker who has left his or her mark on the history of cinema, through his or her daring, demanding and uncompromising work.
The 54th Directors’ Fortnight, or 2022 Quinzaine des Réalisateurs, has announced lineup in 2 competition sections:
- Feature Films competition
- Short Films competition
