Cannes’ Directors Fortnight to Honor Todd Haynes With Golden Coach Award
Todd Haynes will receive the Golden Coach Award at this year's Cannes' Directors Fortnight.
“From ‘Superstar: The Karen Carpenter Story to Safe,’ ‘Velvet Goldmine,’ ‘Carol’ and ‘May December,’ your films have been inhabited by a great faith in cinema’s experimental and narrative possibilities,” said the SRF in a letter signed by its members, including Julie Bertuccelli, Romain Cogitore, Cédric Klapisch and Zoé Wittock. Previous recipients of the Golden Coach Award include Andrea Arnold, Souleymane Cissé, Kelly Reichardt, Frederick Wiseman, Martin Scorsese and Werner Herzog. Earlier this year, Haynes presided over the jury of the Berlin Film Festival whose Golden Bear Award went to “Dreams (Sex Love)” by Dag Johan Haugerud.
