CANNES, FRANCE With characteristic flair, Saatchi & Saatchi worldwide creative director Bob Isherwood introduced the 15th annual New Directors showcase here today.
Saying he was offering 23 new directing talents, he noted that was 46 eyes with which to see the world. The lights dimmed to reveal pairs of giant eyes floating around the stage.
Highlights of this year’s reel included a short of a surreal trip to London by a Japanese woman with a preoccupation with swimming by Gaelle Denis of Passion Pictures Over Time, a film using puppets by Oury Atlan of Partizan Lab showing reptilian creatures honoring the death of a man who appears to be their owner; a music video by Partizan’s directing collective Associates in Science for Beck, depicting images of Beck by using only letters and symbols; and a humorous spot presenting sitar players in India playing “Dueling Banjos” for CMT by Harvest’s Michael Downing.
