It’s time for light, camera, and Cannes! Only a few days left for the tiny French town of Cannes to transform into the world’s film capital as Spain follows India which makes it Cannes’ first official Country of Honour in 2022.
The industry event launched the initiative last year to spotlight and celebrate different nations at each market edition.
Also, after being criticized for failing to highlight more women in its line-up, Cannes will break its own record with six films from female directors.
This year actor Anushka Sharma will represent India at Cannes 2023 as she met the France ambassador to India Emmanuel Lenin with her husband Virat Kohli at French Embassy, in New Delhi and he hinted that she’ll be hosting by uploading a picture captioned “A pleasure meeting @imVkohli and @AnushkaSharma! I wished Virat & #TeamIndia all the best for the upcoming tournaments, and discussed Anushka’s trip to #CannesFilmFestival,” Emmanuel tweeted.
