The roster for Cannes Film Festival sidebar Critics’ Week was announced this afternoon with seven films in competition and two special screenings, along with the opening and closing titles. Figuring amongst the mix is Inglourious Basterds star Mélanie Laurent with her second directorial outing, Respire, which grabbed a special screening berth. Out of the seven competition titles, two are from return helmers: Self Made, by Israel’s Shira Geffen whose 2007 Les Méduses won the Cannes Camera d’Or; and David Robert Mitchell’s It Follows. Mitchell was in Critics’ Week in 2010 with The Myth Of The American Sleepover. British filmmaker Andrea Arnold is presiding over the jury for the 53rd edition of Critics’ Week (aka Semaine de la Critique). France’s Rebecca Zlotowski is overseeing the new Sony CineAlta Discovery Prize jury of the parallel section. Critics’ Week is an important Cannes sidebar which has helped foster such talent as Guillermo del Toro, Gaspar Noé, Alejandro González Iñárritu, Emanuele Crialese, and Jeff Nichols. The section runs this year from May 15-23. Here’s the full list of titles:
