The festival's opening film, "Midnight in Paris," is also showing out of competition. Set in the City of Light, the latest Woody Allen movie includes French first lady and former supermodel Carla Bruni in a bit part. American actor Robert De Niro presides the jury for this year's main competition, with other jury members to be announced shortly, organizers said. The Riviera festival runs from May 11-22. Last year, the hypnotic Thai film "Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives" won the top honor at the Cannes Film Festival, while Academy Award winners Juliette Binoche and Javier Bardem earned acting honors.
