Cannes announces competition lineup
    2017-04-17  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

   

 CANNES Film Festival director Thierry Fremaux and president Pierre Lescure on Thursday unveiled the lineup for the iconic Cote d’Azur event’s 70th anniversary edition, to be held May 17-28.

    Bringing some Hollywood presence to the Croisette this year will be Todd Haynes’ period drama “Wonderstruck,” starring Julianne Moore and Michelle Williams, and Sofia Coppola’s “The Beguiled,” with Colin Farrell, Nicole Kidman, Kirsten Dunst and Elle Fanning. Cannes veterans Michael Haneke, who won the Palme d’Or twice before, and Michel Hazanavicius also are returning with “Happy End” and “Le Redoutable,” respectively.

    The festival will include 19 competition titles, four out-of-competition titles, three midnight screenings, one special screening and nine first films from 1,930 submitted movies. Fremaux said 12 female directors will be featured in the official selection, up from nine last year.

    Benny and Josh Safdie’s “Good Time,” a crime drama starring Robert Pattinson, and Lynne Ramsay’s “You Were Never Really Here,” toplined by Joaquin Phoenix, will be among the titles bringing extra star power to the Cannes red carpet.

    Kidman will feature in four competition and other section entries, having the biggest presence of all the bold names at the fest next month.

    The first competition title unveiled was Andrei Zvyagintsev’s new film “Loveless.” After his success with “Leviathan,” the Russian culture ministry had said Zvyagintsev would get no more state money for his productions, so the film was made without official Russian support and instead put together as a co-production with Germany, France and Belgium, with Eurimages support.

    Also in the Cannes lineup is Al Gore’s “An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power,” which follows Gore as he travels the world raising awareness of climate change and trying to push people and governments to embrace renewable energy. Additional political edge comes from a Vanessa Redgrave documentary about refugees called “Sea Sorrow.”

    Adding high-profile TV projects for the first time, Cannes will also screen two episodes of David Lynch’s “Twin Peaks” revival for Showtime and show Jane Campion’s “Top of the Lake 2” as special events.

    As previously announced, Spanish director Pedro Almodovar will oversee the main competition jury that will award the Palme d’Or and other top prizes.

    Palme d’Or winner Cristian Mungiu will head up the student and short films jury, and Cesar-winning French actress Sandrine Kiberlain will head the Camera d’Or jury, which selects the best first film from across all sections and sidebars.

    Among Thursday’s first announcements was that a short virtual reality project from Alejandro G. Inarritu will be part of the festival, as will Kristen Stewart’s short film “Come Swim.” (SD-Agencies)
