The 77th Cannes Film Festival lineup features a blend of studio and arthouse films, with a strong international representation.

Controversial works include a film by Russian director Kirill Serebrennikov and a film about a trans woman from Gaza by Yolande Zauberman.

The festival will open with Quentin Dupieux's comedy 'Le Deuxième Acte' and showcase world premieres like 'Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga' by George Miller.

A diverse range of directors is represented, with films like 'The Apprentice' and works by Greta Gerwig and Jia Zhang-ke.

Despite the geopolitical tensions, the festival maintains its commitment to international diversity and the cinematic experience.

The event, running from May 14-25, anticipates many unexpected discoveries, with a notable presence of Chinese and Indian filmmakers.

While some notable directors are currently absent from the lineup, there remains a possibility for last-minute inclusions.
