Sizing Up Cannes 2007
Michael Cimino, Wim Wenders, Lars von Trier, Amos Gitai, Abbas Kiarostami, Manoel de Oliveira, Chen Kaige, Hou Hsiao-hsien and Tsai Ming-liang, Wong Kar Wai, Theo Angelopoulos and last year's Palme d'Or winner Ken Loach will join nearly 30 other directors in contributing three-minute movies to help celebrate the festival’s 60th anniversary.
Stephen Frears ("The Queen") will preside over this year's competition jury whose votes will be announced by guest emcee Diane Kruger at the closing ceremony.
Steven Soderbergh's "Ocean's Thirteen" will premiere at Cannes (out of competition) and the full roster of films in this year's festival will be announced on April 19.
Word is that Tarantino will premiere a longer version of his "Grindhouse" movie "Death Proof" that might just slip into competition for the festival.
