Emmanuelle Bercot's "La Tete Haute" ("Standing Tall") was
shown to a packed Theatre Lumiere after last year's winner of
the Best Actress prize at Cannes, Hollywood star Julianne Moore,
declared the festival open.
Also on the red carpet were jury members Sienna Miller and Jake
Gyllenhaal, as well as "La Tete Haute" actors Deneuve, Benoit
Magimel, Sara Forestier and Rod Paradot.
This year's festival will pay tribute to the late Ingrid
Bergman, who would have turned 100 this year, and the feature
film jury is chaired by American writer-directors Joel and Ethan
Coen.
Moore received her award, for her performance in "Maps to the
Stars", from French actor Lambert Wilson, having been unable to
attend the award ceremony last year.

cinema to "Theatre Lumiere" in the second paragraph)
