The Cinematic Croissant. The Royal Plum. The French Garden of International Decadence. The\u2013hold on\u2026<\/p>\n
I\u2019m being told that literally nobody calls the Cannes Film Festival<\/a> any of these things.<\/p>\n Moving on.<\/p>\n The annual Festival de Cannes represents the opening crescendo of the year\u2019s major film festivals. The movies that premiere, the people that show up – it\u2019s an event saturated with Hollywood decadence and movement that takes place an ocean away from Hollywood.<\/p>\n The 76th Festival de Cannes will take place from Tuesday, May 16th to Saturday, May 27th in Cannes, France. The early festival buzz and the field of Official Selections<\/a> all represent a glimpse into a gorgeous lineup of the best upcoming drama of this year (besides the drama of a Writer\u2019s Guild strike).<\/p>\n As films screen, industry professionals will network and sell scripts at the world\u2019s largest annual film market, the March\u00e9 du Film. Film USA<\/a> will represent Louisiana and the U.S. film industry with the Film USA Pavilion at Village International<\/a>.<\/p>\n With just a short time before the biggest industry voices dig for fresh stories like 1950s coal miners, here\u2019s a preview of the 2023 Cannes Film Festival.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/fablehouse.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/cannes-film-festival-04-res.jpg” alt=”cannes film festival” title_text=”cannes film festival” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”30px||30px||true|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_font=”|600|||||||” header_2_font_size=”23px” header_2_letter_spacing=”0.5px” header_2_line_height=”1.4em” custom_margin=”||10px||false|false” header_2_font_size_tablet=”20px” header_2_font_size_phone=”19px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n David Grann (The Lost City of Z, The Wager: A Tale of Shipwreck, Mutiny, and Murder<\/i>) writes captivating adventurous nonfiction that depicts the hardest and rawest edges of the human soul. Pair his storytelling style in a mystery about 1920s Oklahoma Native American murders with Martin Scorcese\u2019s direction, and the sheer potential makes it perfectly acceptable to stand up and let out a small screech in a public coffee shop.\u00a0<\/p>\n Robert de Niro, Brendan Fraser, Leonardo Dicaprio. Jesse Plemons as an old-timey former Texas Ranger investigator with a brisk mustache. According to Variety<\/a>, Killers of the Flower Moon <\/i>will be Scorcese\u2019s first film to premiere at Cannes since After Hours <\/i>in 1985. Scorcese has been a prominent presence at the Festival de Cannes throughout his career and won the Palme d\u2019Or in 1976 for Taxi Driver <\/i>as well as serving as the President of the Jury in 1998.\u00a0<\/p>\n Killers of the Flower Moon <\/i>was filmed in Pawhuska, Oklahoma<\/a> in cooperation with the Osage Nation<\/a>. The film\u2019s Native American cast includes Lily Gladstone, Tantoo Cardinal, and Tatanka Means. Apple gave Scorcese an estimated $200 million<\/a> budget to work with and Killers of the Flower Moon <\/i>will premiere in the U.S. theatrically on October 20th, 2023. Deadline reported<\/a> the film\u2019s runtime is locked in at three hours and 26 minutes – AKA you\u2019ll have plenty of time to soak in it like a 104-degree sauna. <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/fablehouse.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/cannes-film-festival-03-res.jpg” alt=”cannes film festival” title_text=”cannes film festival” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”30px||30px||true|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_font=”|600|||||||” header_2_font_size=”23px” header_2_letter_spacing=”0.5px” header_2_line_height=”1.4em” custom_margin=”||10px||false|false” header_2_font_size_tablet=”20px” header_2_font_size_phone=”19px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The Cannes organizers will release the full festival lineup schedule on May 13th<\/a>.

She also stars as Jeanne du Barry (born Jeanne B\u00e9cu<\/a>), King Louis XV\u2019s second mistress who also served as his advisor with the title of \u201cMarquise de Pompadour\u201d for 20 years.

Under the umbrella of the Festival de Cannes, the March\u00e9 du Film<\/a> represents 12,500 industry professionals and over 4,000 unique projects.<\/p>\n Representing Louisiana and film commissioners across the U.S., Film USA<\/a> will make the Cannes Festival and March\u00e9 du Film its centerpiece event its second straight year with the Film USA Pavilion<\/a> at the Village International.<\/p>\n Film USA is a nonprofit 501(c)(6) founded by Baton Rouge Film Commissioner Katie Patton Pryor<\/a> and Dallas Film Commissioner Tony Armer. The mission is to serve as a united umbrella under which film commissions from across the U.S. can share resources and work together to enhance the film and television industry in their communities.<\/p>\n Film USA co-founder Katie Patton Pryor gave us some insight into the upcoming anticipation for the Cannes Festival and how Louisiana will be represented:<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ text_font=”||||||||” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_letter_spacing=”1px” custom_padding=”|||15px|false|false” border_width_left=”5px” border_color_left=”#ff0000″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n I am very excited. It is only our second year at Cannes and we have nine USA Film Commission offices attending. One of our goals is to make these events more accessible to our USA Film Commission members so we can market our regions globally and attract production, and the reception thus far has been incredible.\u00a0<\/p>\n You’ll note the large presence from Oklahoma… that is because Killers of the Flower Moon<\/i> was filmed there! We are already planning for a Film USA presence at other events for this year and expanding every year. The next stop will be the Catalyst Content Festival in Duluth, MN from October 4-7. The Catalyst story institute has been an incredible support from the start.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/fablehouse.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Katie-Pryor-at-Cannes-Film-Festival-01.jpg” alt=”Katie Pryor at the Cannes Film Festival” title_text=”Katie Pryor at the Cannes Film Festival” show_bottom_space=”off” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”30px||5px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#adadad” text_font_size=”13px” text_letter_spacing=”1px” text_line_height=”1.5em” text_orientation=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Katie Pryor at the Cannes Film Festival<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The \u201clarge presence from Oklahoma\u201d Katie discussed is the members from Oklahoma film commissions that were an integral part of the infrastructure behind the Killers of the Flower Moon <\/i>shoot. This includes members of the Cherokee Film Commission, Tulsa\u2019s Office of Film, Music, Arts & Culture, and the Oklahoma Film and Music Office.<\/p>\n During the festival, Film USA will host panel discussions and happy hours and dive into niche areas of the industry structure, such as tax incentive programs for states and the relationship between film and tourism. View the full schedule of panels and speakers here<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Along with Film USA, the Louisiana Office of Tourism and Visit Baton Rouge have partnered to represent Louisiana by hosting a reception at Cannes. A Louisiana Office of Tourism study<\/a> published on April 5th, 2021, showed the correlations between Louisiana tourism and the film industry – a key finding was that a staggering 13.5% of Louisiana tourists were directly impacted by a production they had watched that was based in Louisiana. Of the estimated $18.9 billion annually spent on Louisiana tourism, this translates to roughly $2.5 billion directly attributable to the film industry.\u00a0<\/p>\n When asked about what she wants to personally see, Pryor said Killers of the Flower Moon <\/i>was the top pick but also:\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cI am an 80s kid, so I’d be lying if I said I was not bursting at the seams to see the new Indiana Jones.\u201d<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n —<\/p>\n Festival attendees can find the Film USA pavilion at the Village International Pantiero Esplanade at pavilion #200.
