in today but mac programme we look back at some of the highlights of this year's cannes film festival kicked off with its opening—night film which was a kidnapping thriller called everybody knows which played more like a family drama. set in spain it told of the intrigue and tensions that corrupt within extended family following the kidnapping of one of their own full up direct by iranian film are azgar fahadi, it stars dunell the cruise and javier bardem. we have worked together a few times, so we we have worked together a few times, so we know each other well, but it is not something we do every two yea rs, is not something we do every two years, it is once in a while if we feel it is right, like in this case. the couple was asked what did having an iranian filmmaker bring to this spanish and ever? apart from his talent, which we know is a huge talent, which we know is a huge talent, is the enormous amount of tough work that he brought to it which made the magic, and he watched the film and you can litigate it is an iranian director who does not speak spanish, directing a spanish fi

culture correspondent and host of the movie show keno scott roxboro he's just returned from the cannes film festival scott the makers are more than twenty films have been vying for that top prize tell us about the winner shoplifters. yeah i mean you give the description right right there it's a really interesting film about family it wasn't were at the top of my list because it's not political of film and i thought this year cam was going to make a political statement it was supposed to be the year of the woman in cannes that's what they what they said this is the first year in the wake of the me to scandal and the seven ism seemed to be written large at this year's festival but me and all the top prizes so the top three prizes went to man this in this case with shoplifter i think it was well deserved this was and is an excellent film and a real real tug around the heartstrings but i was a bit upset a bit upset that you didn't see any of the females represented female directors represented in the top prizes we had only three women directors this year in competition and none of them want one any of t

thank you. 50 years ago today the canned fis -- the cannes film festival kicked off. e streets of paris have sparked demonstrations that saw the festival called off after a few days. the turbulence led to the creation of the directors fortnight. 50 years ago today the 21st cannes film festival opened on the french riviera. little did organizers know it would be called off halfway through due to chaotic protest. declared the festival over. that was part of the turbulence known as may 68, the youth revolt. group of young filmmakers got together and created the directors fortnight in 1969 to show experimental and avant-garde films. the sidebar selection is now an important part of the festival. one name associated with the cinematic treatment of may 68 is the director of the documentary "half of life." he was 17 at the time of the event so he used archive footage to put the film together. to him about the spirit of the time. >> it tells the story of the youth uprising but in no way that is rare. it is rare to have archive footage, at the same time with the key characters,

the metro picks up on the woman leading the charge at the cannes film festival. still legendary film festival, glamorous and all those things. one of the papers, not the metro, has five female members of its feature film jury led by president cate blanchett, but still only three of the feature films out of 21 nominated for the main award we re of 21 nominated for the main award were directed by women. change will not come overnight, says cate blanchett. extraordinary those statistics in this day and age. the statistics in this day and age. the statistics are terrible. so much of it is about role models and seeing the on—screen talent, seeing those roles for women. when i read a report recently about how many leading roles on tv cop dramas or whatever, the ratio is appalling of men to women for the big parts, or directing. you need to make a big change and i think we should start putting quotas. a quick word about sir alex ferguson. great news. a lot of optimism over the weekend that he was going to come through this. even more optimism tonight and tomorrow morning

foreign to cannes, but what was unusual this year was that solo: a star wars story was the only big budget hollywood picture to screen at the festival. usually there are other hollywood films to cannes — they bring the festival international attention and can put stars on the red carpet. solo was the one big hollywood blockbuster here, and it basically sucked up all the oxygen, so much was focused on this one huge film. traditionally we have had a handful of big hollywood films here, and that has sort of spread it around so people don't get so much focus onjust one. here it was all solo, all star wars. not all went smoothly with the production of this star wars spin—off. after reported creative differences, the original codirectors were fired and replaced by ron howard. there were rumours of substantial reshoots. alden ehrenreich, who plays the young han solo, believes the behind—the—scenes drama added to the anticipation. part of the fun of a star wars movie is all the drama and the fandom and rumours and all that kind of stuff, and i think it only adds to the excitement of getting to go have that adventure. and festival—goers were pretty excited. are you guys star wars f
