Cannes 2017 Lineup: Sofia Coppola, Noah Baumbach, David Lynch, Michael Haneke, and More
The Cannes 2017 lineup has been announced, featuring VR and TV for the first time.
Every year, the Cannes Film Festival celebrates the world's finest auteurs in the south of France. This year's lineup is no different, boasting the likes of Abbas Kiarostami, Agnes Varda, Andrey Zvyagintsev, Josh and Bennie Safdie, Sofia Coppola, Michael Haneke, Noah Baumbach, Lynne Ramsay, and more.
This year, the traditionally purist festival is venturing into new territory, finally embracing virtual reality and television—albeit from established directors. For the first time, the festival will screen a virtual reality film from none other than Alejandro G. Inarritu. Top of the Lake Season 2 and the Twin Peaks revival will screen from Jane Campion and David Lynch, respectively.
