The lineup includes new films from Wes Anderson, Wim Wenders, Ken Loach, and Catherine Breillat. Another movie could potentially be added to the selection, making 20 movies in total.
The documentary “Jeunesse” by Chinese director Wang Bing, a Les Films Fauves (LU/Gilles Chanial) co-production with France, Hong Kong and the Netherlands, is part of the festival’s official competition.
The feature film “The Delinquents” (LOS DELINCUENTES) by Argentine director Rodrigo Moreno, a Les Films Fauves (LU/Gilles Chanial) co-production with Argentina, Chile and Brazil, is selected in the “Un certain regard” section.
Both films were financially supported by the Film Fund Luxembourg and include the participation of many Luxembourgish talents in the artistic and technical teams.
Also worthy of mention is Luxembourgish actress Marie Jung who features in the film “Acid” by Just Philippot. The film in question has been selected among the “midnight screening” movies.
Out-of-competition movies include Martin Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon”, a strong favourite to be included in the run for the Palme d’or.
For the first time, the list features 6 female directors in total. The movie opening the festival “Jeanne du Barry”, is by female French director Maïwenn Le Besco and features Johnny Depp as a lead.
In order to promote Luxembourgish cinema on the international film market, the Film Fund Luxembourg will have its own pavilion in the “international village” at the Cannes Film Festival.
The pavilion will host some 20 companies and other entities, including: production companies and companies specialised in post-production, sound and new technologies, as well as the EAVE training program, the Luxembourg City Film Festival and the Europe Creative - Media support program.
The traditional Luxembourg Day will take place on Saturday 20 May, in the presence of audiovisual professionals and the press.
