By far the most popular seminar while in Cannes is the Saatchi & Saatchi New Directors Showcase. This year the showcase featured 17 of the best new directing talent from around the world. Over the years such big names as Fredrik Bond, Chris Cunningham, Nicolai Fuglsig, Jonathan Glazer, Michel Gondry, Spike Jonze, Danny Kleinman, David LaChapelle, Chris Palmer, The Perlorian Brothers, Jason Reitman, Mark Romanek, Tarsem, Traktor, Kinka Usher, and Ivan Zacharias have been featured.

You can now view all the films by the winning directors on the Saatchi & Saatchi Hello Future YouTube page.
