1800 feature films entered the festival and only 18 have been chosen to compete for the Palm d’Or award. Another 20 feature films had the opportunity to take part in the so-called Un certain regardsection, among them a Hungarian one. Kornél Mundroczo’s new title, White God, is his 6th film. It tells a sentimental story of a 13-year old girl, Lilly and her dog, and it just had its world premiere on Saturday at Cannes Film Festival. „It’s no secret that after the films I’ve made thus far, I am turning towards genre experiments. The first of these is White God, inspired mostly by preposterous and increasingly rancorous present-day social relations.” – said the director. Mundroczo’s title is not the only one at this year’s Cannes Festival.
