2022 is destined to go down in the history of Cannes, and by secret ballot, German Alice Nobloch will succeed Pierre Lescourt as the next president of the Cannes Film Festival on July 1, 2022, for a three-year term. Thus Cannes will usher in the first female president.
Pierre Lescourt, 76, succeeded Gil Jacob as president of the Cannes Film Festival in 2015. Alice Nobloch was at the helm of Warner Europe.
With the birth of the female president of the film festival, people are paying more attention to the selection of the chairman of the jury of this year's Cannes Film Festival, after it was reported that Fumao hopes to be a female president. Maria Godion and Penelope Kroze have been mentioned.

Planning: The Editorial Board of "Books Aside"
To be sure, the chairman of the jury of this year's film festival is the latest to be announced during pierre Lescourt's tenure. Previously, pierre's presidency of the jury was largely announced in January.
Exceptions are George Miller in 2016 and Alessandro González Iñárritu in 2019.
Rumored that 2016 George Miller's "Mad Max 4" and the 2019 online hit and Iñárritu's Alfonso Cuarón's "Roma" were all popular candidates for the Oscars that year, the academy asked Cannes to postpone the announcement of the chairman's candidate until late February.
In addition to the chairman of the jury, fans are more concerned about the main competition unit, and the Cannes main competition list is almost every avid fan's annual selection guide.
Because the impact of the epidemic in the past two years is different around the world, the filming progress of directors in different places is also affected by this, and there may be some legendary films that have been delayed, and there may also be a number of directors who have just been shortlisted for works last year.
For this reason, the film list of the main competition unit of Cannes this year gives the outside world more room for prediction, and as the announcement date of the film list approaches, the prediction of the outside world seems to be getting stronger...
We have synthesized the news from all aspects and published the forecast film list here for your reference. Even if these films are not shortlisted for this year's Main Cannes Competition, I think they are also films that you can focus on this year.
This film list can be divided into two parts, one part is international films other than North America, this part of the film is to do their best to impact the main competition of Cannes, and some even do not enter the main competition of Cannes.
The other part is films produced in the North American market, and some of these films must also aim to enter the main competition in Cannes, but some of them have chosen their premieres for commercial reasons at film festivals such as Venice, which are closer to the Oscars.
International Films:
Tori and The Lodge
The Dane brothers have two Palme d'Ors in their hands, Cannes Best Screenplay, Best Director, Jury Prize, and a bunch of directors in particular, whose goal is to create a film history and win a third Palme d'Or.

The director's last film was in 2016. It has been suggested that the film may be renamed R.M.N.
"Sunny Morning"
Mia Hansen-Love was just shortlisted for the main competition at Cannes last year with "Isle of Bergman", and if it can be shortlisted for two consecutive years, as a French director, I don't know if it is a record. Euromühn went to Berlin this year.
Future Crimes
Of course, it is a work in the North American market, but not every North American director regards the Oscar as the highest goal. David Cronenberg's last work was in 2014, eight years a sword. Visual inspection is the scale of this year's Cannes Film Festival.
"The Determination to Break Up"
Park Chan-wook's works, 2021 fans have really heard enough of the various legends of the film, one moment to Say to Come to Cannes, one moment to say to Go to Venice. Park Chan-wook is rumored to have been on Barbera's blacklist. The heroine of the film is Tang Wei.
