The Cannes International Film Festival, the most glamorous event on the festival calendar has returned to celebrate its 61st year. The festival opened on Wednesday with a Fernando Meirelles’s grim Brazilian drama Blindness. This year’s star lineup offers a mix of new talent.
But the festival is devoid of Indian cinema, except for Dev Anand’s Guide which is a part of the Classics section.
No other Indian film has made it to the competitive or non-competitive categories but a host of Bollywood stars are expected at the festivalI genuinely bond with the people, the place and the festival. I feel, as a member of our film fraternity it will be fantastic to have representation here in Cannes too. But I don’t think that should be used as a barometer to judge what we have or to lament. It could be an ambition. After all its is an individual choice. The filmmakers decide the need for a movie to be part of ‘A’ festival or be it the Cannes itself. Said Aishwarya. NDTV
