Cannes Film Festival presents the films in and out of competition for 2023. This festival season will feature directors whose talent is artistic influential film creations.
Cannes 2023
Cannes Film Festival this year Ruben Östlund, award winning Swedish director, is the jury president. Östlund was nominated in 2022 for an Academy Award for Triangle of Sadness. His films, The Square and Triangle of Sadness (film won five other nominations) won Palme D’Or.
The official poster honors Actress Catherine Deneuve. She is is standing on Pampelonne beach, near Saint-Tropez, for the shooting of La Chamade by Alain Cavalier, adapted from the novel by Françoise Sagan. The actress of Peau d’Âne is an embodiment of cinema, far from what is conventional or appropriate. Without compromise and always in tune with her convictions, even if it means going against the grain of the times.
