From now on, the act becomes tradition, will be annual and will take place at the opening of the event. For 2011, it was Italian Bernardo Bertolucci who was appointed. The filmmaker has marked the Italian cinema of intimate masterpieces as monumental frescoes Last Tango in Paris, Novecento (1976), from the Conformist (1970) to the Last Emperor (1987), his political and social involvement, carried by profound lyricism and a precise and elegant staging, gives his films a singular place in the history of world cinema.

We already know that the « Midnight in Paris » Woody Allen will open the out-of-competition festival on May 11, 2011, but what will be the masterpieces or misses that will feed our film debates during the 15th Cannoese. « Tree of life » by Térence Malick, who had little missed his presence last year will certainly be at the appointment for the official selection, due to his date of release on May 18, other familiar directors like Pedro Almodovar with his thriller « The piel that habito », or the brothers Dardenne, Wong Kar-wai or Lars Von Trier, will certainly be among the favorites. Gus Van Sant, Walter Salles, David Cronenberg are also among the hypotheticals present and on French films, we could see in Cannes Robert Guédiguian, Christophe Honoré, Bruno Dumont or Dominik Moll. Madonna with her » W.E. » and André Téchiné with « Unforgivable », should favor the Mostra in Venice to preview their respective films . But it's not to mention a good last minute surprise...
