“It is truly a dream come true,” says Reed Van Dyk, whose directorial feature debut, “Atonement,” unspools in Directors’ Fortnight. “If I had any dream in film, it was to present a movie at Cannes, and I have a long-standing relationship with this section of the festival. There’s been a lot of movies from Fortnight that, as I’ve come of age as a filmmaker, have meant a lot to me and taught me a lot about film craft.”

CAA Media Finance and Goodfellas are handling sales on the film, which stars Boyd Holbrook, Hiam Abbass and Kenneth Branagh.
