Cannes 2022 summons the undead to prove cinema is alive and kicking The 75th Cannes Film Festival kicked off on Tuesday with a zombie-themed tribute to filmmaking by French director Michel Hazanavicius as the movie world returned to the Riviera hoping to breathe new life into an industry crippled by the pandemic. The curtain-raiser was preceded by a video address from Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky, who called for “a new Chaplin” to confront the world's dictators.
