The press conference begins
Thierry Frémaux and Iris Knobloch take their seats for the press conference during which the films in the Official Selection will be revealed.
Camille Cottin, mistress of the opening and closing ceremonies
The actress of The Empire And Stillwater will take on this prestigious role, like Chiara Mastroianni last year.
Revealed to the general public in 2013 with the short program AssholeCamille Cottin has since experienced a meteoric rise which has allowed her to join the very private circle of French actresses known internationally.
In addition to the global success of the series Ten percentof which she played one of the main roles, she notably gave the reply to Brad Pitt In Alliesof Robert Zemeckisas well as Matt Damon In Stillwater by Tom McCarthy
An honorary Palme d’Or for George Lucas
A few days ago, the Cannes Film Festival announced that the father of the saga Star Wars will receive this honorary prize on May 25, during the closing ceremony.
“Megalopolis” by Francis Ford Coppola in competition
Only film from the Selection announced before the press conference: Megalopolis, by Francis Ford Coppola. This feature film in the making since 1983 will be part of the official competition, as revealed by the American press on Tuesday April 10.
Greta Gerwig chosen to chair the jury
The jury for this 77th edition of the Cannes Film Festival will be chaired by American director Greta Gerwig, to whom we owe the film barbie released last year. She succeeds the Swede Ruben Östlund, whose jury awarded the Palme d’Or to Anatomy of a fall last year.
She is “the first American filmmaker to take on” this role, said the festival. She is also the first woman since actress Cate Blanchett in 2018 to access this prestigious position, where men remain over-represented.
