The Cannes Film Festival will kick off its 77th edition on May 14 and run through May 24. With an entry in almost every major section, the festival commences with French musician-filmmaker Quentin Dupieux`s "Le Deuxieme Acte" (The Second Act). India will have plenty of action during the 12-day event.
Never before in history have Cannes and its sidebars found space for eight Indian, or India-themed, films. As many as six of these will be in contention for awards. So, when the festival winds down on May 24 and 25, the media contingent from the world`s largest film-producing nation might have plenty to write about.
