Can the Cannes Film Festival top itself after a 2022 edition that premiered three picture nominees, “Top Gun: Maverick,” “Triangle of Sadness,” and “Elvis”? Cann…
chief Thierry Frémaux certainly hopes so. In his first interview about the upcoming 76th edition, Fremaux tells about his efforts to pull together another milestone edition, talks about his failed attempt to get a woman to preside over this year’s jury and his hopes to lure prestige U.S. indies, along with Hollywood studio movies, after proving once again last year that Cannes can be a strong launchpad for the awards season.
With Vincent Lindon in 2022 and Ruben Ostlund this year, it seems clear that Cannes doesn’t give in to the hype of having stars presiding over the jury. How do you assemble a jury? Stars and auteurs aren’t incompatible. Cate Blanchett proved it recently by being a magnificent jury president. The presence of Ruben Ostlund who won the Palme d’Or twice is the guarantee that we’re going to speak about cinema.
Will Cannes screen movies from filmmakers who are considered “canceled” such as Roman Polanski or Woody Allen? Both men have new films. I don’t think Roman Polanski’s film is ready for Cannes. Maybe Woody Allen’s film will be. We will position ourselves depending on the situation. I’ve only seen one episode. It seemed promising. I saw it, the film is wonderful. We would be delighted to show it at Cannes. It’s a short film, I believe, so no, not on opening night.
