Andrea Arnold

Andrea Arnold returns to the Semaine de la Critique, which helped her launch her early career by screening her short film Milk. Very quickly, her career took off thanks to very impressive works, revealing her talent and originality to larger audiences. Another short film, Wasp won the Oscar for best short in 2003. Her first two feature films Red Road in 2003 and Fish Tank, in which she directed Michael Fassbender in 2009, won both the Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival, which really cemented her reputation internationally as one of the very few women film makers to have been rewarded at Cannes. In 2011, she presented her adaptation of Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights in the Venice International Film Festival Competition. La Semaine de la Critique is delighted to welcome such an exceptional filmmaker to reward one of the emerging artists from the competition with the Nespresso Grand Prize.
