This just in: Cruel Summer, an “immersive seven-screen experience” created by Kanye and his ideas firm DONDA, will premiere at the Cannes Film Festival next week. (If you live in France, you can buy tickets here.) The short film-slash-installation is “inspired by the G.O.O.D. Music album Cruel Summer,” according to a press release, so now we have a name for that project, too. But more important: DONDA lives!  UPDATE: Kid Cudi and Aziz Ansari are apparently involved.  Perfect.
