Check Out Every Film from This Year's NDS
Last week, the legendary Saatchi & Saatchi New Directors’ Showcase enticed over 2,000 Cannes delegates to get out of bed and invited them to be inspired, educated and entertained.
Taking place at the Grand Théâtre Lumière at the 2017 Cannes Lions, the show lasted 70 minutes and presented the very best, groundbreaking directorial talent from around the globe. Partnering with MPC, the show celebrated creativity, innovation and provided a platform for up-and-coming talented directors.
To introduce the show, a three-minute piece was shown to the audience directed by 2016 NDS-featured director, Jake Dypka. Last year his film ‘Embarrassed’, which featured celebrated poet and spoken word artist, Hollie McNish, was included on the reel and vocalised the daily battle mothers face when nursing in public. Both Dypka and McNish were invited back and commissioned to co-direct a film together, which celebrates gender and presents how women and men perceive the world differently.
