Atonement will premiere at the 2026 @festivaldecannes Directors’ Fortnight @quinzaine_des_cineastes . Making this hugely ambitious movie was only possible thanks to the huge efforts of many talented and hard working people.
Thank you to the absolutely delightful cast which included @kenneth_branagh_official , #HiamAbbass, @boydholbrook , @ghdeado and @majdeid10
As this was a multi-country shoot, massive thanks to Joe Segura and @danteconnor_ for keeping our film cameras and camera teams running smoothly. Also special thanks to @sirjoshofcoffin , @kampsamantha , @pv.guy and @hopidemattio during prep and testing. I am hugely appreciative of all the support from my usual buds at @panavisionofficial including @rikitikitavi66 and Patrick Matterson.
In Jordan it was a pleasure getting to work with my wonderfully kind and talented gaffer @hosnialbaqa and my key grips Amin and @qusaiharb . Thanks to my US gaffer @ian_pigg for joining me on our 2nd wild adventure and @onthelinefilms for key gripping.
Thank you also to colorist @raphedft and to Christian Straub at @fotokem_la for all the care handling our film negative. Also big thank you to @kodak_shootfilm whose magic always keeps my soul ablaze.
Atonement has been selected to premiere at Cannes 2026 Directors' Fortnight. I'm filled with warmth and happiness for all involved who worked so hard on this feature, but no one for as long as my dear friend and director @reedvandyk
