The Cannes Film Festival opens later with US director Wes Anderson's film Moonrise Kingdom.
His movie, which stars Bill Murray, is one of the 22 movies selected to compete for the festival's biggest prize, the Palme d'Or.
However, the celebrations have been marred by criticism that no female directors will be in competition.
I've just been reading this article and it really insenses me. Films should be nominated on merit .. it doesn't matter who wrote or directed them. Are they suggesting a film by a woman should be included JUST because it's by a woman.. who will that benefit?

Most movies are still directed by men (a plain fact of life), so the chances of a list of "best" movies not having any women directors is substantial. Next year, there could be 5 or 6 women directors. That's just the way it goes.
