60th ANNIVERSARY OF THE FESTIVAL DE CANNES

Alain Delon has accepted Gilles Jacob’s invitation and will be one the honorary hosts of the 60th Festival de Cannes. He will attend, on May 20th, the anniversary ceremonies. Everyone still
remembers those images of the actor who came to defend on the Croisette the colours of a few of the greatest artists of world cinema to whom his name in inextricably bound: Antonioni and Eclipse,
Visconti and The Leopard, the sketch by Louis Malle in Extraordinary Stories, Losey and Mr Klein, Godard and the New Wave…His last visit to the Festival goes back to The Return of
Casanova, by Edouard Niermans, in 1992, marked as well by an unforgettable climbing of the steps.

Alain Delon declared upon this occasion: “I am personally delighted, after such a long absence, to once again have the honour to climb these legendary steps. My only regret is not being able to
do so in the company of my dear friend Bebel ” (Jean-Paul Belmondo).
