What is the Un Certain Regard section in Cannes Film Festival?
Translated to “A Certain Look,” Un Certain Regard is the largest official sidebar event at the Cannes Film Festival. It functions as a small-scale event in comparison to the main competition. The festival screens its movies at the Salle Claude Debussy and has no dress code restrictions as such.
Having its own jury, this year’s acclaimed people who chaired the Un Certain Regard are Canadian actor, director, screenwriter and producer Xavier Dolan, including French-Senegalese screenwriter and director Maïmouna Doucouré, German-Luxembourg actress Vicky Krieps, the Moroccan director, screenwriter and producer Asmae El Moudir, as well as American film critic, director, and writer Todd McCarthy.
The stated competition runs parallel to the Palme d’Or and was first introduced back in 1978 by Gilles Jacob. Un Certain Regard focuses on films with unusual styles and ones that do not speak of too traditional stories.
