2015 Cannes Classics Lineup

As there are too many films and wish not to make even more larger the official selection post decided to do one post just for today's announcement with all the films in Cannes Classics, including those that will be screened at the Cinéma de la Plage. So will update Official Selection post by deleting everything about this section of the festival.

As the work for restorations is going on actively on all continents, one may only be overcome in our present time by regained vivid shadows, blacks and whites and colors of the history which is exposed every year at Cannes Classics. Being the inspiration for numerous initiatives in the whole world, Cannes Classics keeps on working visiting the history of cinema, indisputable masterpieces or precious rarities. They will be distributed in theaters, on DVD, Blu-Ray or VOD. A boiling of features and documentaries which will be screened in 35mm, DCP 2K or 4K and which makes a program which will take place at Buñuel, salle du Soixantième or at the Cinéma de la plage.

This year the guest of honor is none other than Costa-Gavras (in photo) plus there will be a double celebration of Ingrid Bergman and Orson Welles. A tribute to Manoel de Oliveira, documentaries about cinema, restorations from all around the world, The Golden Palm's 60th anniversary celebration and the 120 years of the Cinématographe Lumière.
