The official poster of the 62nd Festival de Cannes is inspired by a photogram of l’Avventura (1960), the timeless masterpiece of that master of film, Michelangelo Antonioni. A mysterious female silhouette, caught in mid-movement, seems to be opening a window onto the magic of cinema and invites us into a dream. The poster was created by Annick Durban. She has created a complete scenography for the Festival, from its publications to the decor inside the Palais that will be unveiled in the coming weeks.
