The Cannes film festival begun yesterday and runs until May 22 in the French Riviera. 


The festival kicked off with the premiere of Woody Allen's nostalgic comedy "Cafe Society" starring former Twilight star, Kristen Stewart, celebrity homemaker Blake Lively and Steve Carell. 


Nearly 90 feature films from all over the world will be shown in this year's official selection.


An endless list of other famed persons expected at the event include George Clooney, Ryan Gosling and Charlize Theron.


The population of Cannes nearly triples to some 200 000 people as film producers, industry workers and actors pour in.


Security officials remain on high alert after Paris was hit by terror attacks that claimed 130 lives, late last year.
