Since he took over the most prominent parallel section of the
Cannes Film Festival three years ago, the Quinzaine des cinéastes,
formerly known as Quinzaine des réalisateurs, has both sharpened
its profile as aplatform for cinematic discoveries and its status
as a forum for prominent artists beyond the mainstream. Under the
artistic direction of Julien Rejl, the Directors' Fortnight claims
to strive to increase diversity and champion singular artistic
voices, despite the omnipresent pressure of commercialization and
uniformity. Before the opening ceremony initiates this year's
edition, Julien Rejl sat down with Lidanoir to talk about Cannes'
conflicting impulses of artistic equality and economic elitism, the
dynamic between the festival's different sections, and what makes
this year's program unique.
