Victor Erice and Kleber Mendonça, in the Special Sessions of the Cannes Film Festival
The Spanish Victor Erice and the Brazilian Kleber Mendonça Filho are among the filmmakers who will present their new films at the Special Sessions of the 76th edition of the Cannes Film Festival.
Erice will participate with “Cerrar los ojos” and Mendonça with “Ghost Portraits”, announced this Thursday in Paris the general delegate of the festival Thierry Frémaux.
The Spaniard will take his fourth feature film to Cannes, 31 years after the release of “El sol del quince” (1992), with which he competed for the Palme d’Or, while Mendonça Filho returns to his native Recife with this film that represents his third work presented at the French festival.
Frémaux specified that it is a section that takes place “next to the official competition but in a different way” and that it includes films as special as “As Bestas”, by Rodrigo Sorogoyen, in last year’s edition.
Some special sessions in which the latest works by the Japanese Takeshi Kitano (“Kubi”) will also be seen; the German Wim Wenders (“Anselm”) or the British Steve Macqueen (“Occupied city”).
