Since its founding in 1969 by the French Directors’ Guild, the Directors’ Fortnight has served as a vital and boldly independent counter program to the Cannes Film Festival. Following a successful launch in 2024, Directors’ Fortnight Extended returns to Los Angeles with a curated selection of the 2025 program at the Directors Guild of America.

Multi-film Fortnight Extended passes can be purchased here.
