th year, Variety’s annual 10 Directors to Watch highlights some of the most promising and creative young filmmakers in the entertainment industry.
Presented this year (as we have for the last several) at the Palm Springs International Film Festival, our list is as full of promising up-and-comers as ever, with at least three directors whose work has already staked a claim during the 2023-2024 awards season, and several with films that are set to premiere at Sundance, Berlin and other spring festivals.
Back in 1997, the publication honored the likes of Wes Anderson (“Bottle Rocket”), Alfonso Cuaron (“A Little Princess”) and Mary Harron (“I Shot Andy Warhol”); since then, we’ve recognized Kasi Lemmons (“Eve’s Bayou”), Christopher Nolan (“Memento”), Fernando Meirelles (“City of God”), Taika Waititi (“Eagle vs Shark”), Luca Guadagnino (“I Am Love”), Justin Simien (“Dear White People”), Chloe Zhao (“The Rider”) and Nia DaCosta (“Candyman”) among many others.
