Cannes 2008 - 1st Official Lineup Announcement
Posted by Kurt Halfyard at 5:32am.
Posted in Film News , Continental Europe & Russia, Random Festival News.
The first official film announcement from Cannes is a juicy one. The Good, The Bad, and The Weird is there screening out of competition (although Fernando Meirelles Blindness is curiously absent at this point), as well as new films from Atom Egoyan, Nuri Bilge Ceylan and wkw‘s Ashes of Time Redux! Also, a very big event would be Steven Soderbergh‘s work-in-progress on Che Guevara which combines his upcoming pair of films into a single 4 hour screening. Charlie Kaufman‘s debut film, Synecdoche, New York is playing also amongst the usual top-tier world cinema filmmakers. Full list (thus far) below:

If anyone wants to see me naked then I urge you to seek out Two Birds, playing in the shorts competition at Cannes.
