A mix of old and new, of Hollywood glitz and auteur fare, has proven a recipe for success as the film industry's biggest annual festival gearing up for its 61st edition from May 14 to May 25.
After viewing 1,792 films from 96 countries, organisers selected 19 movies to compete for the prestigious Palme d'Or that winds up the yearly 12-day extravaganza of showbiz parties, red-carpet screenings and wheeling and dealing.
