54 feature films were selected among 1792 from 96 countries (up 11% over last year, and up 23% over 2 years).
The festival will once again offer a mix of veteran filmmakers returning to Cannes, along with a few VIP star studded red carpet events and the fresh blood and energy of newcomers.
Soderbergh, Eastwood, Wenders, Dardenne and many more previous award winners are competing for Golden Palm again.
