The 68th Cannes International Film Festival has been underway in France.
South Africa is showcasing a total of eight films under the festival’s so-called Marché du Film, regarded as the festival’s “movie market” counterpart. These films include “Ayanda and the Mechanic’’, produced by Terry Pheto's company Leading Lady, and Africa’s first zombie movie “Last Ones Out’’.
The two-week long festival, running between 13 - 24 May, has seen a star-studded guest-list of Lupita Nyong'o, Charlize Theron and many more. Below, we compile a diary of the best looks seen thus far:
