Knobloch said the festival will now expand beyond the Palais des Festivals and into the Palm Beach, a venue located on the opposite side of the Croisette. The Palm Beach is currently being remodeled.

The Cannes Film Market has already lured more than 14,000 accredited professionals from 120 countries.

“We’re going to surpass the 2,000 films submitted for the selection.

The interest for the festival is clear, and no matter what, it’s the films that create the atmosphere each year,” he said.

Last year was a milestone edition for the festival, which world premiered two best picture nominees: Justine Triet’s “Anatomy of a Fall” and Jonathan Glazer’s “The Zone of Interest.”

The Cannes Film Festival will kick off with the world premiere of Quentin Dupieux’s surreal comedy “Second Act” starring Lea Seydoux.

The 77th edition runs May 15-25.
