Thursday morning, April 18,marked the announcement of films chosen for the 72ndCannes Film Festival 2019 in a press conference in Paris. The film festival is set to kick off on May 14 and conclude on May 25. The announcement has unveiled the Cannes Film Festival 2019 lineup which includes films by 13 women film makers, more American titles than the previous year and several genre movies.
Out of the 47 films announced on Thursday, 12 are directed by women, one being co-directed by two women. Also, four among these films are chosen for the coveted Palme d’Or. The U.S. is significantly represented with films by Terrence Malick who is presenting ‘’A Hidden Life’’ which is a war time drama, Ira Sachs who is set to unveil Isabelle Huppert starrer “Frankie” and director Jim Jarmusch, with “The Dead Don’t Die”.
Dozens of films are slated to be screened, which means even more actors gracing the red carpet with hair and makeup looks we’ll be talking about for weeks — and very likely emulating, too. Celebrities like Selena Gomez, Chloë Sevigny, Margot Robbie, and many more are expected to wow onlookers as they attend the debuts of their selected films, while Elle Fanning will be serving up several looks as the youngest member of the festival’s jury.
