Is Philippines attending Cannes festival this year? Yes! That’s what I have read from the news. Director Brillante “Dante” Mendoza’s next film, Serbis, has been officially invited to the official competition section of the 61st Cannes Film Festival from May 14 to 25.
The 61st Cannes Film Festival will present films by Clint Eastwood and Steven Soderbergh in a main competition that will be reduced to 20 films this year from 22 in 2007, The Associated Press reported.
Mr. Eastwood will be represented by “Changeling,” a mystery set in the 1920s in Los Angeles starring Angelina Jolie as the mother of a kidnapped child.
Mr. Soderbergh will present “Che,” a four-hour film about the Argentine revolutionary Che Guevara.
