and the coveted grand prize the lyon is awarded. al jazeera phil lavel explains from the red carpet. >> reporter: picking a winner here is no easy target. what tends to happen the critics veer off. they back one or two movies, but that doesn't happen here. the jury is notorious to like something edgy, different, and perhaps challenges the norms of cinema. having that said, there are three films that are getting a lot of attention. the story of the indonesian mass killings. it's a very raw film. last year's movie is a documentary and the feeling this year perhaps might go with something more of a traditional film. which brings us to the neck

movinext movie that is talked although "bird man." it stands a very good chance. it stars michael ke keaton. and in this movie he plays an actor who played a super hero and struggles beyond that role. this is getting tipped as oscar nominee. chances are the director, the crew, those behind the movie won't be too broken hearted because they have their sights set on the oscars. a third film called "pidgeon on a branch reflecting on existence." i can't tell you what it is about. it's so surreal, nobody could really follow the plot. one person said, you may as well do a dance about a cake.

it's that surreal. very beautiful, very different, and that could help when it comes to the jury picking a winner for the golden lyon. we should find out who has won very shortly. when we do, we'll let you n know here on al jazeera.
