1. “American Nudist”
This documentary bills itself as a modern walk through the exciting world of
“naturalism." Which apparently involves push-ups. Not natural!
2. “Killing Hasselhoff”
Yes, the Hoff is in Cannes. He's looking for a director for a comedy centered around a celebrity death pool, you know, when people bet on which star is going to die next. "It's hilarious," Hoff told the Hollywood Reporter.

Looking like a modern day “The Blair Witch Project,” “Shooting Bigfoot” is a documentary that follows three search parties through the woods tracking the elusive Sasquatch. We're not going to give away the ending.
4. “How to Make Money Selling Drugs”
This is actually a serious documentary that spells out 10 ways to make money off of drugs.

5. “Explanation of Confinement”
