Jul 5, 2021
We've been waiting for Cannes for quite a while, and this year’s slight delay means the anticipation is even higher. What makes things even more exciting is that, travel restrictions allowing, there will be a whole host of Talents alumni cruising the Croisette this year!
The Official Selection is bursting with the familiar faces of filmmakers who have crossed the Talents threshold throughout the years, including 17 Talents involved in ten films selected for Competition alone. There are over 75 alumni across all sections of the festival, the complete list of which you'll find below. Don't forget, you can search for each alumni profile under Talents and Alumni in the Discover section of our Menu.
