The 63rd Cannes Film Festival is currently running from May 12th - May 23rd.
This years festival has Tim Burton, husband of Helena Bonham Carter, of Edward Scissorhand's fame as President of the jury.
No Australian films feature in this year's Official Selection however Robin Hood featuring to Australian actors, Russell Crowe and Cate Blanchett is being premiered at the festival.
Of note in the official selection for the Cannes film festival this year is a new film by Ken Loach, the British director. Woody Allen also has a new film debuting outside of the official selection.
Both directors are realists in their own right albeit Woody Allen favouring humour as a way of making his point whereas Ken Loach tends to shock by uncovering and exposing the often dismal life lived by the lower classes in Britain and others in society.
