ENCORE! © FRANCE 24

Clovis Casali talks to Thierry Frémaux, the director of the Cannes Film Festival. After being cancelled last year due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the world's biggest cinema event is back with an exciting line-up. Wes Anderson, Sean Penn, Nanni Moretti and Jacques Audiard are all competing for the prestigious Palme d'Or.

Frémaux explains what Covid-19 restrictions mean for the 74th edition of Cannes, which is taking place from July 6 to 17.

He also talks about his special bond with Quentin Tarantino and why he thinks the American is the most talented filmmaker of his generation.
