The 72nd Cannes Film Festival only got underway and this year, Israeli executive Amos Gitai will be a boss of a jury for a Clapperboard Citizens Cannes award, an endowment combined dual years ago that is given to a film that celebrates “secular, concept and humanist values.”
Several of Gitai’s films have been shown during Cannes. In 2005, Hanna Laslo won a Best Actress Award during Cannes for her starring purpose in his film Free Zone. This year, several Israeli films are competing: Dekel Berenson’s Anna (a film set in Ukraine, by an Israeli director); Yona Rozenkier’s Butterflies, in a Short Films Competition; and Yarden Lipshitz Louz’s Rift, from Sapir College in Sderot, in a Cinefondation shorts category.
Among a many expected cinema during a festival this year are: a opening night film, Jim Jarmusch’s The Dead Don’t Die, a zombie comedy starring Bill Murray and Adam Driver; Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, a duration film about an actor and his attempt double in 1969, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt; and Dexter Fletcher’s Rocketman, a biopic about Elton John.
