FESTIVAL: Cannes Film Festival 2010

(I know this is long overdue. I apologize, I have been really busy recently.)




The most glamorous film festival in the world, the Cannes Film Festival, was held from the 12th to the 23rd of May. As expected, a lot of famous celebrities graced the event. A-list stars like Russel Crowe and Cate Blanchett were there promoting Ridley Scott's Robin Hood while Hollywood actors like Gerard Butler and Elizabeth banks were there to join the celebration.

The jury is star-studded as well, led by Tim Burton as the President of the Jury for Feature Film. Also part of the jury were Gael Garcia-Bernal, Benecio Del Toro, Kate Beckinsale, Shekhar Kapur and Claire Denis.

Aside from giving awards to exceptional international independent films, Cannes Film Festival has also been the avenue for producers to promote and give special screenings of upcoming movies. Aside from Robin Hood, some out-of-competition films were Gregg Araki's Kaboom, Stephen Frears' Tamara Drewe, Oliver Stone's Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps and Woody Allen's You Will Meet A Tall Dark Stranger.

The Palm D'Or is the highest award given to the best feature film in competition. Past recipients of this award is Steven Soderbergh for Sex, Lies and Videotape and Quentin Tarantino for Pulp Fiction. This year, this highly coveted award was given to Thai director, Apichatpong Weerasethakul for his film, Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives (Lung Boonmee Raluek Chat).

Below is a list of the winnersof this year's Cannes Film Festival:
