Cannes 2015 Day 5 / New Directors' Showcase

NEW DIRECTORS’ SHOWCASE: CELEBRATING 25 YEARS OF SUPPORTING NEW TALENT

Each year, one of the most heavily guarded secrets of the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity is the opening presentation of the Saatchi & Saatchi New Directors' Showcase. For 25 years Saatchi & Saatchi have championed the best new directing talent by showcasing their work at Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity.

Since it was introduced in 1991, the New Directors' Showcase has introduced the ad world to many talents who have gone on to do big things in commercials and well beyond -- directors Daniel Kleinman, Jonathan Glazer, Spike Jonze, Michel Gondry, Floria Sigismondi, Dougal Wilson, Jake Scott and more. So Saatchi has tapped 25 of those directors to create a new, experimental film that opened this year's event.

Here are my 3 favorite films:

Ben Knight "Denali" Photographer Ben Moon and his dog Denali had an incredible bond that became almost spiritual when each suffered life-threatening illnesses. This film by Ben Knight captures that connection brilliantly.

Eric Kissack "The Gunfighter" An unseen narrator, voiced by Nick Offerman, reveals the inner thoughts of a saloon full of lying, cheating sexual deviants in this comical Western comedy.

Kyungmin Woo "JohnnyExpress" It's 2150. Johnny is a space delivery man bringing packages to aliens all around the universe. But things go horribly and hilariously wrong on a visit to this poor planet.
