 The History of Aviation
 
Every year, the Directors' Fortnight, created in 1969 by the SRF (French Directors Guild), under the direction of Francois Truffaut and Jean-Luc Godard, programmes a selection of 20 feature and short films from around the world during the Cannes Film Festival.
 
From its inception, the aim of the Directors' Fortnight has been to showcase filmmakers for audiences and critics alike. This not only involves highlighting new talent in world cinema and the directors of tomorrow, but also supporting filmmakers who are still little-known in the West or whose work has not been shown in the major international festivals.
 
The 48th Cannes Critics' Week has invited the Belgian-Dutch-Hungarian coproduction Lost Persons Area, by first-time director Caroline Stubbs. The film stars Miklós Zoltán Hajdú, who starred in White Palms, it was produced by László Kántor and the score was written by Albert Márkos, all Hungarians.
