Tarantino to Present “Secret Screening” in Cannes
The iconic director — who returns 4 years after premiering Once Upon a Time in Hollywood on the Croisette — will be the guest of honor of the Directors’ Fortnight sidebar competition.

He will be discussing his “counter-history of cinema,” theories about 1970s Hollywood that were recently published in his part-memoir, part film theory Cinema Speculation.
The competition — which described itself as a “counter-programming of free-spirited films from all over the world” — noted that it launched in Cannes in 1969, just as the period of filmmaking history in Tarantino’s book, when a “new generation of filmmakers rose against old Hollywood” began.
While the Directors’ Fortnight wouldn’t name the film Tarantino will present, it did give a hint, claiming that there would be “a rockabilly vibe on closing day.”
