So here is every single movie scheduled for this year’s Cannes Film Festival — Competition, Out of Competition, and Un Certain Regard — spotlighting the screenwriters, a number of whom are writer-directors.

Grace of Monaco: Arash Amel

The Captive: Atom Egoyan, David Fraser

Clouds of Sils Maria: Olivier Assayas

Foxcatcher: E. Max Frye, Dan Futterman
