Quentin Tarantino, who is this year’s guest of honor at the Cannes Film Festival ‘s Cannes Classics section, shared his passion for George Sherman — the prolific U.S. director of low-budget Westerns and other genre films — on Wednesday with a packed screening of two of his Universal Pictures movies.

The Cannes Film Festival is now in full swing, opening its slate with three highly anticipated world premieres: Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, starring Tom Cruise, Hayley Atwell, and Angela Bassett; Mascha Schilinski’s thriller Sound of Falling; and Sergei Loznitsa’s drama, Two Prosecutors.

This year's Cannes Film Festival is underway and the first day saw Robert De Niro winning and Quentin Tarantino dropping the mic.

Riley Lynch was on hand to introduce the documentary alongside its director, French filmmaker Stéphane Ghez.

Cannes Film Festival officially kicked off on May 13, beginning an 11-day showcase for some of the buzziest upcoming films. Take a look at all the fashion — and the red carpet styles.

Speaking of del Toro, Jeanne Berney, who now is COO of Picturehouse, was in the Grand Théâtre Lumière when Pan’s Labyrinth premiered and recalls the reaction felt like a “once-in-a-lifetime experience.”

Cannes Film Festival premieres often require tuxedos and bow ties to attend, but this year, the fest clarified that no nudity or long gowns will be allowed.

Re-elected for a second mandate earlier this year, Cannes Film Festival President Iris Knobloch is kicking off the 78th edition in high spirits. Her arrival at the helm of the festival two years ago has coincided with Cannes’ renaissance and closer-than-even bonds with Hollywood.
