Bard MFA Alumnus Todd Haynes Wins Carrosse d’Or Prize at Cannes Film Festival
Todd Haynes.
Filmmaker and Bard MFA alumnus Todd Haynes will receive the 2025 Carrosse d'Or prize at Cannes Film Festival this May. The Carrosse d'Or awards a director who has made a lasting mark on filmmaking. Past awardees include David Cronenberg, Agnès Varda, and John Carpenter. The French Directors’ Guild praised Haynes’s work: "[he has] challenged the norms and structures of cinematic representation to better question our social, racial and gender representations. It's as if all the love and violence in the world converge in [his] cinema to sweep us away in a torrent of emotions."
Haynes’s films include Velvet Goldmine, Carol, and Dark Waters. He has also executive directed several films by Kelly Reichardt, who won the Carrosse d'Or award in 2022. His first film, Poison, won the Sundance Film Festival Grand Jury Prize in 1991.
