Cannes Film Festival 2007

It's that time of the year again, as the French city of Cannes opens its doors for the 60th Cannes Film Festival, taking place from May 16th-27th.
Hollywood starlet Diane Kruger will be this year's Master of Ceremonies, hosting the opening ceremony in the Palais des Festivals before rounding off the spectacle at the closing ceremony on the 27th.
This year is a special one for Cannes, as it will be the 60th anniversary of the prestigious film festival. To celebrate, a special feature film will be screened on May 20th, made by 35 producers from 25 countries. The President of the Festival, Gilles Jacob, explains that this project was a matter of reuniting a group of filmmakers-famous worldwide-to create a picture that represents both their countries and their pride in cinema. The project focuses on one single theme- cinema itself, giving rise to the film's title, To Each His Cinema. The project involves artists from all corners of the globe; European collaborators include Roman Polanski, Ken Loach (UK), Nanni Moretti (Italy), Wim Wenders (Germany), Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne (Belgium), Lars Von Trier and Bille August (Denmark), Theo Angelopoulos (Greece), Aki Kaurismaki (Finland), and finally Olivier Assayas, Claude Lelouch and Raymond Depardon (France).
This film will also be screened on live TV, so that the people of Cannes can also step back in time and enjoy the fine accomplishments of world cinema.
