Bruno Dumont’s Red Rocks to World Premiere at Cannes Directors’ Fortnight

The Fortnight slot signals a high-profile launchpad for a new phase of Dumont’s work.

Overview

  • Directors’ Fortnight added Red Rocks on Thursday as a world-premiere special screening.
  • Dumont will also give a masterclass during the 58th edition of the sidebar, which runs May 13–23.
  • Organizers called the feature a fresh departure in Dumont’s filmography.
  • Festival materials say the film was shot on the French Riviera with very young children using a documentary-like, wide-angle approach.
  • The title joins what outlets describe as one of the section’s starriest recent lineups, as Dumont returns to the program where he debuted in 1997 after later winning two Cannes Grand Jury Prizes.
