The 70th annual Cannes Film Festival is currently taking place from 17 to 28 May 2017, in Cannes, France.  Spanish film director and screenwriter Pedro Almodóvar has been selected as the President of the Jury for the festival with Italian actress Monica Bellucci hosting the opening and closing ceremonies. Ismael’s Ghosts, directed by French director Arnaud Desplechin, has been selected as the opening film for the festival.

Ismael’s Ghosts
The opening film “Ismael’s Ghosts” is a more-French-than-French affair. The Gallic auteur is a firm friend of the festival, with several of his previous films, including Ma Vie Sexuelle, La Sentinelle, and Jimmy P: Psychotherapy of a Plains Indian debuting in competition. Mathieu Amalric heads up an ensemble of French acting royalty that includes Marion Cotillard, Charlotte Gainsbourg and long-time Desplechin collaborator, Louis Garrel. Amalric plays Ismael, a film-maker whose life with Sylvia (Gainsbourg) is interrupted when his lost love Carlotta (Cotillard) returns from the dead.

The festival celebrated its 70th anniversary. In late March 2017, official poster of the festival was revealed featuring Italian actress Claudia Cardinale. The actress responded, “‘I am honoured and proud to be flying the flag for the 70th Festival de Cannes, and delighted with this choice of photo. It’s the image I myself have of the Festival, of an event that illuminates everything around.
