The Cannes Film Festival officially kicked off on May 12 with South Korean director Park Chan-wook as jury president, featuring the opening romantic comedy "The Electric Kiss" by Pierre Salvadori and a competitive lineup of 22 films, while the ambiance was notably quieter than in previous years, with fewer Hollywood stars on the red carpet and only light political commentary, primarily from Jane Fonda, as the festival celebrates independent films until May 23. #CannesFilmFestival #FilmIndustry #RedCarpet #KR #FR #US
