    Jane Campion Sits in "Sleeping Beauty"

    Oscar-winner (and Palme d'Or winner) writer/director Jane Campion ("The Piano") took a seat in the audience for the "Sleeping Beauty" press conference Thursday in Cannes. The controversial film screening in competition drew mixed reactions Wednesday after its press screening, with the audience audibly divided. Fellow Australian director Julia Leigh met Campion before going into production (her first film) on "Sleeping Beauty" and said during the conversation in the Palais des Festivals that she sought her advice throughout the making of the film.

    Stephanie Sigman: Someone to Watch!

    Mexican actress Stephanie Sigman did a bang up job in her first role in "Miss Bala," which debuted in the Un Certain Regard section of the festival. Directed by Gerardo Naranjo, the film is an 'edge-of-your-seat' gang thriller set amidst the drug wars in Mexico. Check out iW's profile of the actress who will no doubt be making many more appearances on the big screen.

    Sundance Hangs at AmPav

    Sundance Institute head Keri Putnam with Sundance Film Festival director John Cooper taking a little time out at the American Pavilion in Cannes. AmPav continued to be a hot spot to run into people and it was often difficult to find a place to sit, despite the somewhat hefty membership fee. The venue also hosted multiple panels from celebs to industry-related topical conversations.

    Bonsái!

    "Bonsái" director Cristián Jiménez enjoying a glass of bubbly at the party for "The Skin I Live In" in Cannes. The festival gave the film a rather peculiar description: "At the end of this film, Emilia dies and Julio remains alone. Actually, Julio had remained alone several years before Emilia's death. What matters is that at the end, Emilia dies and Julio does not die. Julio lives and Emilia does not live. The rest is fiction." At any rate, word on the street was that the film is definitely worth a view. It should hit North American festivals (and likely Toronto) in the fall.

    Almodóvar in Cannes Talks "Skin" and His Next English-language Film

    Pedro Almodóvar along with Antonio Banderas and Sony Classics co-president Michael Barker in Cannes Thursday night at the after-party for the world premiere of "La Piel que Habito" (The Skin that I Live In") having good times. Almodóvar met with a small group of journalists Friday in Cannes to talk about his film (iW will publish an interview with him down the road), but the main news aside from "Skin," which should open in the U.S. later this year, is that his likely next project will be in English. "I have a few different projects right now and one of them is in English - for the first time," he said. "It's based on a story and it's pretty far along actually, but I don't want to talk about it too much right now because everyone will keep asking me about it..."
