Quentin Tarantino Plans "Secret Screening" at Cannes Film Festival

Quentin Tarantino will be the guest of honor at the 2023 edition of the Cannes Film Festival's Directors' Fortnight sidebar competition, presenting a "secret screening" and discussing his theories about 1970s Hollywood. The competition, which launched in Cannes in 1969, noted that it began just as the period of filmmaking history in Tarantino's book, Cinema Speculation, when a "new generation of filmmakers rose against old Hollywood" began. Tarantino returns to Cannes four years after he world-premiered Once Upon a Time in Hollywood at the festival and 29 years after he won the Palme d'Or for Pulp Fiction.

Quentin Tarantino has been named honorary guest at the upcoming edition of Directors’ Fortnight, the selection running alongside the Cannes Film Festival. The tribute will take place on May 25, on the closing of Directors Fortnight. Organizers pointed out that Directors’ Fortnight was created in 1969, following widespread civic unrest, as a “counter-programming of free-spirited films from all over the world.” As an exceptional and generous cinephile, Tarantino is at home at the Fortnight.
