CANNES, France — The 75th Cannes Film Festival kicked off Tuesday with an eye turned to Russia’s war in Ukraine and a live satellite video address from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who called on a new generation of filmmakers to confront dictators as Charlie Chaplin satirized Adolf Hitler.
Zelensky quoted Chaplin’s final speech in “The Great Dictator,” which was released in 1940, in the early days of World War II: “The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people.” Matilda Anna Ingrid Lutz, from left, Romain Duris, Finnegan Oldfield, director Michel Hazanavicius, and Berenice Bejo pose for photographers upon arrival at the opening ceremony and the premiere of the film ‘Final Cut’ at the 75th international film festival in Cannes.The war is to be a regular presence in Cannes, where the festival has barred Russians with ties to the government from attending this year.

Questions of gender equality have long surrounded the Cannes Film Festival, where no more than five female filmmakers have ever been a part of the Palme competition lineup and only two women directors have won it. On Monday, Fremaux defended the festival, arguing that it selects films purely on the basis of quality. Hall, who last year made her directorial debut with the film “Passing,” was asked about her opinion on Cannes’ record.
