IMDb's 2024 Cannes Cheat Sheet

It's the 77th edition of the Cannes Film Festival but, from everything they have going on, you'd think they were celebrating the 100th. In addition to the stunning array of In Competition & Out of Competition films (see the full list here) they are presenting the honorary Palme d'Or to Studio Ghibli, George Lucas, and Meryl Streep. The President of the Jury this year is Greta Gerwig, presiding over her contemporaries: French actress Eva Green, Lebanese director/screenwriter Nadine Labaki, Spanish director/screenwriter Juan Antonio Bayona, Italian actor Pierfrancisco Favino, Japanese director Kore-eda Hirokazu, French actor/producer Omar Sy, Turkish screenwriter/photographer Ebru Ceylan, & American actress Lily Gladstone. The Croisette will be the place to be for film for mid-May and here are some of the must-sees. - Keith Simanton
