70 YEARS OF CANNES

In the French Riviera, stars come together to mark the anniversary

The Cannes Film Festival threw a star-studded celebration on Tuesday for its 70th anniversary, drawing mobs of celebrities and a dozen former Palme d'Or winners. To commemorate the French Riviera festival, big names from world cinema streamed down the red carpet for a ceremony that recounted its history through a series of clip reels and moments of tribute to the victims of the recent explosion at a concert in Manchester, England. The celebrations began earlier in the day, when the festival gathered more than 100 current and former Cannes participants for a Cannes family portrait. Among the many celebs, seen in attendance were actors Will Smith, Charlize Theron, Tilda Swinton, Nicole Kidman, Marion Cotillard and Jessica Chastain. Filmmakers Guillermo del Toro, George Miller, Alejandro González Iñárritu were also present.
