Kodak Motion Picture and Entertainment is celebrating twenty-five productions shot on film at Cannes Film Festival this year. Four on-film titles will compete in Un Certain Regard with eleven of the twenty-three titles selected for Directors’ Fortnight also captured on film.

There’s simply nothing as magical as the photochemical image and we are honoured to help these auteurs realise their artistic visions on film.” said Bellamy.
