During a press conference where the contours of the partnership between the Cannes Film Festival and the media France Télévisions and Brut were detailed on Thursday, the organizers announced the identity of the mistress of ceremonies. This is Virginie Efira, present on the Croisette last year for Benedetta.
The Franco-Belgian actress succeeds Doria Tiller in this role. She will be in charge of the presentation of the opening and closing evenings, May 17 and 28.
While the official selection is to be unveiled on April 14, several events are already known, such as the preview of Elvis by Baz Luhrmann or the presence of Tom Cruise, for the first time in 30 years on the Croisette. He will come to present the new Top Gun.
