The official competition section of the 2024 Cannes Film Festival will be full of established directors, few female filmmakers (four out of 19) and no Spanish names. The director of 'The Godfather' returns to the festival in the official section with 'Megalopolis', and will even confront the story of Trump's rise in business.

Greta Gerwig will preside over the jury and George Lucas will receive the Palme d'Or of Honor. The stars will arrive, as expected, from the hand of Francis Ford Coppola, who already won thePalme d’Or with The Conversation and Apocalypse Now. Last year the award was given to Anatomy of a Fall by Justine Triet, who became the third director to win it. This year there will be four directors: Andrea Arnold with Bird, Coralie Fargeat with The Substance, Payal Kapadia with All We Imagine as Light and Agathe Riedinger with Diamant Brut. Just months after the Golden Lion, Emma Stone reunites with Oscar winner Yorgos Lanthimos for his part in The Shrouds of The Shroud.
