Cannes 2024 Opens with Meta-Films Exploring the Art of Filmmaking

Quentin Dupieux's 'The Second Act' leads a slate of films by auteurs delving into the filmmaking process and their own careers.

'The Second Act' by Quentin Dupieux humorously dissects the film industry and actor egos.
Cannes also features Christophe Honoré's 'Marcello Mio' and Paul Schrader's 'Oh, Canada,' both semi-autobiographical.
Josh Mond's 'It Doesn’t Matter' and Leos Carax’s 'C’est pas moi' explore personal and professional narratives through film.
Lou Ye’s 'An Unfinished Film' examines the collaborative efforts of Chinese filmmakers.
These films follow a Cannes tradition of directors turning the camera on themselves.
