McDonagh’s Ireland-set comedy drama recently premiered at Venice Film Festival and stars Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson as two lifelong friends hurtled into conflict when one of them decides to end the friendship.
Hyde’s 2022 Sundance title sees Emma Thompson as a widower who hires a young male sex worker, played by Daryl McCormack, to help her explore her sexual desires.
Hassan Nazer’s Winners, about two nine-year-olds in Iran who find a trophy and decide to find its owner, will screen in Dinard’s official competition selection. The film recently picked up the audience award at the Edinburgh Film Festival.
Also screening in competition is Frances O’Connor’s directorial debut Emily which stars Sex Education’s Emma Mackey as Emily Bronte and will have its world premiere at Toronto Film Festival (TIFF, September 8-18).
Celyn Jones and Tom Stern’s The Almond And The Seahorse is featured in the competition line-up. Rebel Wilson is among the cast of this drama about an archaeologist and an architect trying to recover from a traumatic brain injury.
Other competition titles include Jono McLeod’s documentary-drama My Old School; Reggie Yate’s garage music comedy Pirates and Andrew Gaynord’s horror-comedy All My Friends Hate Me.
The jury will be presided over by Spanish actor and comedian José Garcia who is joined by Oulaya Amamra, George Blagden, Hugo Gélin, Adrian Lester and Alice Pol.
