Career change: Scarlett Johansson, Kristen Stewart and Harris Dickinson to premiere directorial debuts at Cannes

First-time directors at Cannes are thrilling nervousness with excitement as Scarlett Johansson, Kristen Stewart, and Harris Dickinson make their directorial debuts through Un Certain Regard. Stewart and Johansson have long-standing Croisette careers, while Dickinson brings his unique background to "Urchin," a low-budget effort funded by BBC Films. This year’s selection marks new territory with female directors stepping into directing roles for the first time since high-profile debuts, alongside notable directors like Mike Leigh.
