About Cannes 2024
The Cannes Film Festival will kick off its 77th edition on May 14 and run through May 24. With an entry in almost every major section, the festival commences with French musician-filmmaker Quentin Dupieux's "Le Deuxieme Acte" (The Second Act). India will have plenty of action during the 12-day event.
Never before in history have Cannes and its sidebars found space for eight Indian, or India-themed, films. As many as six of these will be in contention for awards. So, when the festival winds down on May 24 and 25, the media contingent from the world's largest film-producing nation might have plenty to write about.
The exclusive coverage will be telecasted on France Télévisions in the French Riviera, while it will be internationally broadcasted by Brut. The festival's official YouTube channel will livestream the event, while the red carpet bits will be shared across social media platforms.
It was earlier revealed that 'Barbie' director Greta Gerwig will serve as the head of the festival jury. "I love films," Gerwig said in a statement. "I love making them, I love going to them, I love talking about them. As a cinephile, Cannes has always been the pinnacle of what the universal language of movies can be." "Being in a place of vulnerability, in a dark theater filled with strangers, watching a brand-new film is my favorite place to be. I am stunned and thrilled and humbled to be serving as the president of the Cannes Film Festival Jury. I cannot wait to see what journeys are in store for all of us."
