Si è conclusa poco fa la conferenza stampa di presentazione del programma ufficiale della 70° edizione del Festival di Cannes che si terrà dal 17 al 28 maggio con Monica Bellucci in qualità di madrina. Il direttore artistico Thierry Fremaux ha anche presentato un libro edito in occasione del 70° anniversario della kermesse francese.

Tra i film in concorso è doveroso citare Happy End di Michael Haneke (già due volte vincitore della Palma d’Oro con Il nastro bianco e Amour), The Beguiled di Sofia Coppola e Le Redoutable di Michel Hazanavicius.

Le uniche presenze italiane a Cannes saranno Sergio Castellitto col suo Fortunata, con Jasmine Trinca e Stefano Accorsi, presente all’interno della sezione Un Certain Regard, e l’esordiente Annarita Zambrano con Aprés la guerre (co-produzione italiana e francese). Tra gli eventi speciali, verrà presentata in anteprima la terza stagione di Twin Peaks e l’esordio alla regia di Kristen Stewart con il corto Come Swim.
