77th Cannes Film Festival kicks off

After the opening ceremony of the 77th Cannes Film Festival held this year in the city of Cannes in the south of France, the “photocall“ event was held. The opening ceremony, presented by French actress Camille Cottin and featuring an exceptional guest of honor, American actress Meryl Streep, was broadcast live in hundreds of cinemas in towns and cities across France. Outside of the realm of the competition, the festival will premiere the film Le Deuxieme Acte by Quentin Dupieux for the first time anywhere in the world. This year's film competition includes entrees such as “Kinds of Kindness“ by Greek director Yorgos Lanthimos and epic science fiction drama “Megapolis“ by double Palme d'Or winner, Francis Ford Coppola. Asian filmmakers like Jia Zhang-Ke from China with his “Feng Liu Yi Dai (Caught by the Tides)“ and Payal Kapadia from India with her “All We Imagine as Light“ also shine in the top prize category.
