The 69th Festival de Cannes, the largest global rendezvous of cinema, unrolls its red carpet from May 11 to 22, 2016 for the stars of 21 films selected in the official selection.

The Festival de Cannes 2016 has selected 52 films from 30 countries on the 1,869 proposed that the Juries in the different selections will have to reward the most prestigious awards in the world. The stars featuring in these films and many more are preparing for the Marches Rouges of celebrity and dream and the City of Cannes is holding its breath in anticipation of celebrations and ceremonies that enliven La Croisette and the sumptuous villas every year.

A 7th Art Jury

A very feminine jury with four women out of nine “very Cinema” personalities will have the delicate task of concocting, chaired by Australian filmmaker George Miller, one of those “surprise palmarès” like Cannes has the secret of, by awarding the Palme d’Or and other prizes in the official competition.
All members belong to the world of the 7th art. On the charm and beauty side, one finds the American actress Kirsten Dunst and the Italian Valeria Golino (actress and director), the French singer and actress Vanessa Paradis, the Iranian producer Katayoon Shahabi. As for the male leads, the actors: the very British Canadian Donald Sutherland, the Danish actor Mads Mikkelsen and directors: the French Arnaud Desplechin and the Hungarian Laszlo Nemes.

Crowned with numerous awards

This palette of international actresses and actors and filmmakers are themselves crowned with numerous awards. Already a star in London before the consecration in Hollywood, Donald Sutherland played a leading role in the cult film MASH by Robert Altman, Palme d’Or in 1970 and has embodied a masterful Casanova for Federico Fellini, released in 1976. Kirsten Dunst won the Best Actress award in 2011 for Melancholia by Lars von Trier. Mads Mikkelsen was honored with the Best Actor prize in 2012 for The Hunt. Laszlo Nemes walked the Red Marches last year with The Son of Saul which earned him the Grand Jury Prize before he won the Oscar for Best Foreign film in 2016. Valeria Golino starred in Barry Levinson‘s Rain Man (1988) and made films with many Italian directors including Respiro, before going behind the camera in 2013.

La Croisette welcomes films from 30 countries

Running for the Festival de Cannes 2016 Palme d’Or, many well-established on the Croisette like Spain’s Pedro Almodovar, the American Jim Jarmusch, the Dardenne brothers from Belgium. Jim Jarmusch comes back with Paterson featuring Adam Driver. Two-time Palme d’Or for Rosetta and L’Enfant, the Dardenne brothers try some sort of hat-trick with The Unknown Girl with Adèle Haenel. Pedro Almodovar will present Julieta, his sixth film in competition. Sean Penn, will walk the Marches Rouges with Charlize Theron, Javier Bardem and Adèle Exarchopoulos for The Last Face.
Alain Guiraudie with Rester Vertical, Nicole Garcia with Mal de Pierres (with Marion Cotillard) and Bruno Dumont with Ma Loute, a burlesque thriller starring Fabrice Luchini, Juliette Binoche and Valeria Bruni-Tedeschi, will carry the colors of the France in the competition.

The Palme d’Or will be announced on stage during the Closing Ceremony on Sunday 22 May and will be screened in the presence of the Jury and the team of the rewarded film.
