A New Era of Audience Engagement and Artistic Recognition at the Directors’ Fortnight

Since its inception in 1969, the Directors’ Fortnight has been a bastion of cinematic innovation within the esteemed Festival de Cannes. Rooted in a genuine commitment to inclusivity and artistic freedom, the Directors’ Fortnight has announced a significant milestone in its history: introducing its inaugural audience award, marking a profound evolution in the Cannes landscape.

Embodying the ethos of openness and accessibility, the Directors’ Fortnight has long welcomed industry insiders and global cinephiles to experience its boundary-pushing selection of films. This year, the Fortnight reaffirms its dedication to audience engagement by inaugurating the People’s Choice award, a distinction that transcends conventional notions of competition.

Distinct from traditional accolades, the People’s Choice award celebrates the singular vision and bold creativity of filmmakers who challenge norms and conventions. By emphasizing individuality and artistic expression, this accolade aims to amplify the voices of cinematic trailblazers whose works resonate deeply with audiences.

Central to this momentous occasion is a poignant tribute to the late Chantal Akerman, a luminary whose indelible impact on cinema continues reverberating throughout the industry. In recognition of Akerman’s groundbreaking contributions, the Fondation Chantal Akerman has graciously pledged its support to the People’s Choice award, endowing the winning filmmaker with a €7,500 prize as a testament to their exceptional talent and dedication.

As the curtain rises on this transformative chapter in Cannes history, the Directors’ Fortnight stands as a beacon of artistic innovation and reverence for cinematic heritage. With the introduction of the People’s Choice award and a heartfelt homage to Chantal Akerman, the Fortnight reaffirms its unwavering commitment to fostering a dynamic dialogue between filmmakers and audiences.
