The
Cannes Film Festival is one of the most important film festivals in the world. This year, the Cannes Film Festival celebrated the 70th anniversary (17 - 28 May). For this occasion, the City Council organized a year-long series of cinema-related events. According to American actor Eddy, this year, the main focus of the films will be on
the refugee crisis, which is currently the world’s No. 1 problem. Michael Haneke, an Austrian director and a double-winner of the Palme d'Or, will present his film ‘Happy End’, which follows a European family during the refugee crisis. It is a portrait of a rich family that runs a big company in Calais, pretty close to the refugee camp. Hungarian director Kornél Mundruczó will also present a film reflecting the fate of the refugees. His film is called ‘Jupiter's Moon’.
