Dupa ce filmul "4,3,2" in regia lui Cristian Mungiu a castigat trofeul Palme d’Or la editia de anul trecut, Romania nu reuseste sa-si asigurare o continuitate fireasca la acest mare festival de film.

Astfel, la editia din acest an, programata in perioada 14-25 mai, Romania va fi reprezentata de: Ciprian Alexandrescu (Interior. Scara de bloc - sectiunea Cinefondation) si de Marin Crisan - "Megatron" (in competitia destinata scurt-metrajelor).

O alta prezenta romaneasca este cea a Alexandrei Maria Lara, care se afla in juriul competitiei festivalului.

Cea de-a 61-a editie a Festivalului de Film de la Cannes reuneste o adevarat pleiada de vedete.

Astfel, in Competitie au intrat: Clint Eastwood, Steven Soderbergh, Wim Wenders, Jean Pierre si Luc Dardenne sau Charlie Kaufmann.

Cele mai asteptate filme, care vor fi prezentate in afara competitiei sunt: "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" in regia lui Steven Spielberg si "Vicky Cristina Barcelona," in regia lui Woody Allen.
