Actress Chiara Mastroianni is the mistress of the ceremonies of the 76th Cannes Film Festival. She was a member of the jury in 1998 and has presented many films in the official selection.

"Cannes brings dreamers together," she says. "It is a special place in the life of the world and a reassuring home for the life for the children of Cannes" "I have an indefinable stage fright, even if my joy, almost childish, prevails," says the actress.
