Kanye West will debut a new short film entitled Cruel Summer at this years Cannes Film Festival on May 23.
Cruel Summer is part film, part art installation, described as a "seven-screen experience," inspired by the new G.O.O.D. Music record of the same name and created by West's design company, DONDA. A press statement says that Cruel Summer is "unlike anything West has attempted before."
Following the premiere, the piece will remain open to the public for the next two days.
This past January, West took to Twitter to hint at a multi-screen project, though it's unclear whether Cruel Summer is related to a film that had West sending out emissaries to scout locations in the Middle East. It was during the same time that West also revealed his plans for his DONDA design company.
