Red carpet, evening dresses and photographers ... the symbolic edition of Cannes 2020, the most prestigious film festival in the world, opened on Tuesday with the ambition to breathe new life into a sector suffocated by the health crisis.

From October 27 to 29, the Croisette is putting up a big red carpet for a mini Cannes Festival.
