Summary

Amélie Bonnin’s musical film Leave One Day made history on Tuesday evening as the first debut film to open the festival across its 78 editions. DEADLINE: As the opening film of Cannes, Leave One Day has to be released theatrically simultaneously in France under the festival rules. I think we’re going to start up again the in UK, with Pathé UK. And if there are producers who are willing to carry these these projects, we will also support them on our side at Pathé UK. DEADLINE: This is good news for the UK film industry.
