Tomorrow begins the 77th Cannes Festival, which will mark the return of movie stars. There are no films of ours in the competition program, and only director Vladimir Perišić from Serbia will be in Cannes as a member of the jury
Serbian film will not have its representative at this year's Cannes Film Festival, which starts tomorrow, but one of the jury members - director Vladimir Perišić - will be from Serbia.
Apart from Vladimir Perišić, it could be said, and of course very conditionally, that Serbia has a share in this year's Cannes festival through the Russian director in emigration Kirill Serebrenikov, whose film "Limonov" is in the competition program, because Serebrenikov founded a platform in Belgrade "DrugDrugu", which has become part of the local cultural scene due to various programs (for example, the play "Ordinary Story", the film festival "Citations"...).
This year, the 77th edition of the Cannes Film Festival will mark the return of film stars such as Meryl Streep, Francis Ford Coppola and Catherine Deneuve. 22 productions will compete for the main prize, the Palme d'Or.
Coppola will be in Cannes for his film Megalopolis, 45 years after his iconic anti-war film Apocalypse Now. Meryl Streep will receive an honorary Palme d'Or during the festival's opening ceremony. Catherine Danev and her daughter Chiara Mastroianni will talk about Marcello Mastroianni on the occasion of the centenary of his birth and on the occasion of the film "Marcello Mio" by director Christophe Honoré, which is in the main competition program.
The president of the jury will be Greta Gerwig, an American independent director whose film "Barbie" earned more than one billion dollars.
Tomorrow, the movie stars on the red carpet will "interview" the dog Messi, who appears in the film "Anatomy of the Fall" by French director Justine Trier, which this year won the Academy Award for Best Screenplay from the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Messi will be equipped with a small camera and microphone, and his voice will be lent by a French comedian who will be on all fours behind the dog during the "interview".
The prestigious Palme d'Or, usually worth around 20.000 euros, is kept in a well-guarded safe at an unknown location until it is handed over, and is handed over to the jury that decided on the winner in the utmost secrecy.
In the event of a "tie" or prize damage, an undated "reserve palm" is awarded.
Vladimir Perišić is on the jury for the Short Film and the La Cinef award, which is awarded to a student film. On the occasion of the nomination, he said that he is emotionally attached to that category, because in 2003 his graduate film "Sleeping Eye" was presented in that competition. Last year, Perišić's film "Lost country" premiered in the "Critics' Week" program, and the young actor Jovan Ginić received the Revelation Award for the best actor.
