Directors aiming for second Cannes award

Quentin Tarantino, the Coen brothers and Gus Van Sant - all past winners of the Cannes Film Festival - are in the running for a second trophy as the French Riviera festival celebrates its 60th anniversary next month.

Tarantino will show his killer-on-wheels movie Death Proof, the Coens will play their Rio Grande adventure No Country For Old Men, and Van Sant will screen Paranoid Park, about a skateboarder who accidentally kills a security guard.
