Cannes Un Certain Regard Prizes 2021

Refocused on the discovery of emerging filmmakers, the 2021 Un Certain Regard has offered twenty features in its competition. Six of them were first films that compete as well for the Camera d'or. The opening film was Arthur Harari's Onoda - 10 000 Nights in the Jungle.

Lead by the director and screenwriter Andrea Arnold, the Jury was made up of the director and screenwriter Mounia Meddour, the actress Elsa Zylberstein, the director and screenwriter Daniel Burman and Michael Covino, director and actor.

In our discussions, the two things we were constantly saying were: "this film is very brave" and  "this film come from the heart". 

Many of the films are very passionate and many of the films are talking about things which are hard to talk about. 

We’d like to acknowledge all the filmmakers for their brave and beautiful work. Their films created vigorous debates.
—Andrea Arnold

SPOTLIGHT ON CANNES 2021: DIRECTORS' FORTNIGHT — THE SEA AHEAD —Ely Dagher

THE SEA AHEAD

"After a long time gone, Jana, a young woman, suddenly returns to Beirut. She finds herself reconnecting with the familiar yet strange life she once left."

"Born in 1985, Beirut based Ely Dagher graduated from Goldsmiths College in London. His work intertwines on different levels and focuses on the layering of narratives across film, painting and installation. Drawing from his upbringing in Lebanon, his work explores the possibilities created through the play between cultures, stories and fiction. It joggles between points of identification and visual structures, from surrealism, science fiction and the occult. Waves’98  was awarded the short film Palme d’Or"
