Quentin Tarantino is heading back to the Croisette in Cannes next month as the guest of honour at Directors’ Fortnight, the festival that runs alongside the main event in the south of France.
The filmmaker will close the festival on 25th May. An official statement from the origanisers said: “As an exceptional and generous cinephile, Tarantino is at home at the Fortnight. He will be our guest this year to present a secret screening and discuss his counter-history of cinema.”
Julien Rejl is artistic director of the festival which runs in Cannes up until the 25th.
Organisers said of the annual event: “The Directors’ Fortnight was born when a community of directors came together with the desire to create an independent space that would encourage the emergence of free filmmaking regardless of geographical provenance or any other limiting criteria. At the heart of the creation of the Directors’ Fortnight was the singular quality of a work of art and the impossibility of pigeonholing it.”

Tarantino was last at the festival with his superb Once Upon A Time In Hollywood back in 2019.
