US EditionCannes film festival: what to look out for
- The Cannes Film Festival is set to commence on the French Riviera this Tuesday, featuring 22 films contending for the prestigious Palme d'Or award for best film.
- The festival coincides with a Paris judge delivering a verdict in one of two ongoing criminal cases concerning sexual assault accusations against actors from Cyrano de Bergerac and Green Card.
- The selection features veteran directors like Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne with their film Young Mothers, alongside films addressing the 1980s AIDS epidemic and projects by a new generation of filmmakers.
- The industry remains unsettled by Trump’s recent declaration of 100-percent tariffs on foreign films, with France’s Culture Minister Rachida Dati warning that such measures could unfairly disadvantage the American film sector; however, details on how these tariffs would be enforced have yet to be clarified.
- Films exploring conflict and political themes include Sepideh Farsi’s documentary on Gaza photojournalist Fatima Hassouna, Palestinian filmmakers Tarzan and Arab Nasser’s Once Upon a Time In Gaza, and a delayed Assange documentary by Eugene Jarecki.
