انطلق مساء الثلاثاء حفل افتتاح مهرجان كان السينمائى الدولى فى دورته الـ71، وكان أول الحضور على السجادة الحمراء أعضاء لجنة تحكيم المسابقة الرسمية للمهرجان، وغلب اللون الأسود على إطلالات النجمات فوق السجادة الحمراء، إلا أن النجمة جوليان مور خطفت الأضواء، فور وصولها إلى مقر المهرجان بالفستان الأحمر النارى الذى ارتدته.
يذكر أن هناك 21 فيلما مشاركا فى المسابقة الرسمية لـ مهرجان كان في دورته الـ71، إلا أن منها ثلاثة فقط لمخرجات نساء، وهو أمر غير متكافئ فى العدد بين أفلام المخرجين الرجال، وتسبب فى هجوم على المهرجان واتهامه بالعنصرية.
