Guiraudie and Assayas will present their latest films, Staying Vertical and Personal Shopper, respectively, and will also give master classes.
The films selected include this year's Palme d'Or winner, I, Daniel Blake (a UK/France co-production), as well as Elle, Slack Bay, From the Land of the Moon, It's Only the End of the World (Canada/France), The Salesman (France/Iran), Harmonium (Japan/France), The Unknown Girl (France/Belgium), Dogs (France/Romania), and a retrospective held in honor of Abbas Kiarostami.
