I See Buildings Fall Like Lightning Chris Harris Cannes Directors’ Fortnight has served some compensation for a scant presence of U.K. filmmakers in major sections at those year’s festival, awarding the highest profile among them, Clio Barnard, the section’s only official prize: the Directors’ Fortnight People Choice Award – an effective Audience Award – for “I See Buildings Fall Like Lightning.”
In a second award announced Thursday Cannes evening, this time from a Directors’ Fortnight partner, “Shana,” the first feature as a solo director from France’s Lila Pinell, scored the Coup de Cœur des Auteurs prize, from France’s rights collection society SACD.
