Film Festival Cannes 2018
May 8, 2018 - May 19, 2018 - De 71e editie van het jaarlijkse Film Festival Cannes begint aan de Franse Rivièra. Onder de kandidaten voor de Gouden Palm van dit jaar zijn befaamde regisseurs Spike Lee, Pawel Pawlikowski, David Robert Mitchell en Jean-Luc Godard, die zijn nieuwste film, Le Livre d’Image, op het festival presenteert, meer dan vijf decennia na zijn film Pierrot le Fou uit 1965,die de poster van dit jaar siert.
Also getting its world premiere at Cannes, though outside the official competition, is Solo: A Star Wars Story, a spinoff from the franchise, directed by Ron Howard.
Two of the directors in competition, Iranian Jafar Panahi and Ukrainian Kirill Serebrennikov, are under house arrest in their home countries.
The festival will not include any movies from Netflix, which opted not to submit entries in the wake of rules banning films from the main competition if they didn’t have a French theatrical release.
Actress Cate Blanchett will chair the jury that will decide the recipients of the festival’s main awards.
