Frémaux, who divides his time between running Cannes and the Institut Lumière in Lyon, devoted to the work of the Lumière brothers and film heritage in general, said he was excited to be bringing the work to Dubai:
“The showcase enables us to rediscover and celebrate Auguste and Louis Lumiére, a pair of filmmakers who are responsible for film as we know it, whose pioneering moving image snapshots of life at the end of the 19th century paved the way for the popularisation of the medium and its evolution into an art form.”

The Coens become the first non-solo presidents in Cannes competition history. They have presented nine of their films on the Croisette, winning the 1991 Palme d’Or for Barton Fink and sharing the grand jury prize in 2013 for Inside Llewyn Davis.
“We look forward to returning to Cannes this year,” said the brothers from the set of Hail Caesar!, which they are shooting with George Clooney, Christophe Lambert, Scarlett Johansson, Tilda Swinton, Josh Brolin and Channing Tatum.
