The Festival, whose 68th edition runs from May 13 through 24, has announced the lineup for this year’s Cannes Classics program of restorations and tributes.
Costa-Gavras will be the guest of honor. Cannes reminds us that he “won the Palme d’or with Missing in 1982, was member of the Jury in 1976 (he rewarded Taxi Driver), Award for Best Director with Section spéciale in 1975, he will be with us for the screening of Z, Jury Prize in 1969.”
Stig Björkman’s new documentary, Ingrid Bergman, in Her Own Words, will screen as a tribute to the subject of this year’s poster. Marking 60 years since the creation of the festival’s top award will be Alexis Veller’s The Golden Palm’s Legend.
As a tribute to Manoel de Oliveira, the film he made in 1982 and requested that it not be screened until after his death will, most likely with bittersweet emotion, be screened: Memories and Confessions.
A selection by the Lumière brothers will mark 120 years since the advent of the Cinématographe Lumière.
And there’ll be an evening with Barbet Schroeder and a screening of the new 2K restoration of his More (1969).
Documentaries about cinema:
- Kent Jones’s Hitchcock/Truffaut. As Leo Barraclough reported for Variety almost a full year ago now, Martin Scorsese, Steven Spielberg, Wes Anderson and David Fincher are among the interviewees.

- Gabriel Clarke and John McKenna’s Steve McQueen: The Man & Le Mans. From Content Media: “The film interweaves original insight and revelation with a remarkable sound archive—as well as hours of never-before-seen film that has remained untouched in basements and garages in Paris and LA.”
- Nancy Buirski’s By Sidney Lumet.
- Daniel Raim’s Harold and Lillian: a Hollywood Love Story.
