Toutefois, l’activité humaine depuis plus d’un siècle, à travers l’industrialisation, la déforestation et l’agriculture à grande échelle, a fait que les quantités de gaz à effet de serre dans l’atmosphère ont atteint aujourd’hui des niveaux records jamais égalés depuis trois millions d’années. À mesure que les économies et le niveau de vie de la population augmentent, le niveau d’accumulation des émissions de gaz à effet de serre (GES) augmente tout

autant. Aussi, est-il aujourd’hui plus que nécessaire de réfléchir à des stratégies pour atténuer ce phénomène néfaste qui menace la vie sur Terre. Il y va de notre survie puisqu’il n’existe pas encore de planète de rechange pour notre humanité.

Meryl Streep : Juliette Binoche, the beautiful Binoche. When I learned that you were going to present me with this Palme d’Or, I went crazy, because for several weeks, I have been watching your artistic life. I was fascinated and captivated by the cunning, fierce and infuriating Coco Chanel. I watched “Passion de Dodin Bouffant”, I was touched, I cried so much when you died. You have great talent, you are such a gene-

rous woman. I am also aware that it is very difficult to say and do it, I am delighted that you were able to act in this film.

I would first like to thank Thierry Frémaux and Iris Knobloch, as well as all those who contributed to the decision to bring me back to Cannes after an absence of 35 years. I am extremely grateful to this great artist “Juliette Binoche”. Being surprised is unique in the world of cinema, I feel very honored to receive this award. My agent, whom I consider young, reminded me that it is our 33rd anniversary of friendly cooperation. As well as my hairdresser, makeup artist, who has been responsible for the quality of my characters for half a century.

When I arrived in Cannes thirty-five years ago, I had three children. I was approaching forty and thought my career was over.

At the time, that was a reasonable prediction for an actress. I am here tonight only because of the wonderful artists I have worked with, such as Madam President «Greta Gerwig» and my daughter.

One day my mother said to me, «Meryl, my darling, you’ll see, everything goes by very quickly.»

She was right, except for my speeches which are always long.

Thank you for this immense honor.

Juliette Binoche, Meryl Streep, and Greta Gerwig at the opening ceremony of the 77th Cannes Film Festival at the Palais des Festivals.

GEORGE LUCAS Was awarded a Palme d’Or for his entire career

26

June 2024

Francis Ford Coppola : I am truly delighted to be here to honor the imagination, achievement and tenacity of my friend here. George Lucas knew me when he was studying at the University of Southern California, a film school that rivaled mine at the University of California, Los Angeles. He came to meet me on the set of my first studio film with a crew much older than me and whose members were all in suits and ties. I asked this 19 year old boy, dressed informally in a T-shirt, what he was looking at? He replied: not much. I was delighted to find someone of my generation and offered to come back

every day on the condition that he make a brilliant suggestion, which he did successfully. This is how we started our friendship.

I followed his entire career filled with brilliant ideas, like the first film with the songs of his era, the first film which ends with a brief description of what became of each character and again the first film whose title appears in the middle, for so many brilliant ideas that have marked the history of cinema, screenplay, commercial history. The story continues in France, the country where cinema was born thanks to Brother Lumière. I also remember that difficult day when he felt rejected. He had met Flash Gordon’s beneficiary. He was told that he was not important to be entrusted with this famous character. He looked at me and said, «All right, I’ll produce my own movie and call it ‘Battle of the Stars’ or ‘Star Wars.’ That’s what he did, risking everything he had I congratulate you dear George, we are proud of you and the whole world is here to pay tribute to you.

I would like to thank the Cannes festival, thank my co-writer, my sound engineer, our great friends who came to Cannes to accompany me. Besides, we were in Cannes 52 years ago to present my first films.

That day it was raining very hard.

We were sneaking into the room, because we didn’t have invitations and it was a bit of a loop. I came today to express my gratitude to you. I grew up in California among the vineyards and I made films in San Francisco with my friend Francis. We had parallel careers. As a director, I’ve never made a film in Hollywood, so it’s a great honor to be here. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

George Lucas : I m very honored to receive this award from Francis, I don’t realize I’m here, I didn’t expect it. Like a big brother, he has always supported me and I express my gratitude to him for everything he has always done for me.

FRANCIS FORD COPPOLA

I

”MEGALOPOLIS“

t’s a film made in the spirit of Francis Ford Coppola 40 years ago. This independent production cost him $120 million from his vineyard, the price of absolute freedom, far from Hollywood executives.

Francis Ford Coppola: We are filled with joy and relief to present “MEGALOPOLIS”. The combination of the two? It’s a crowning moment of happiness after having had an idea and having made it, to have put it aside and to say to ourselves that we have not abandoned it, which is not an emotion that we can describe in one word.

CI: Your film deals with sociology, politics, medicine, science fiction, the future and physics, which you believe can embody all of these ideas in today’s society , as in MEGALOPOLIS. Do you think particularly of the United States or do you think of a person who has all these ideas and this vision, as shown in the film?

28

June 2024

Francis Ford Coppola: I’m going to venture out and present a little idea to you. I expressed my desire to do a horse racing history in America today as in Roman times, because the United States founded the idea of ​​ancient Rome and did not want Rouen, like the Ancient Romans. If you remember, the big building they destroyed is crazy by the way.

The ancient history of Rome in America is interesting, but what is happening in our country, in our democracy, is exactly how the Romans lost their republic 2000 years ago. This is included in newspaper articles.

There are parallels between the United States and ancient Rome and we have reached a point where we can lose our republic.

I don’t know if politicians can provide an answer, I’m not sure.

Artists have a role to play in illuminating contemporary life, through effort, but if you don’t

consider the work of artists, it’s like consuming a hamburger with no nutritional value.

I hope that artists in our country highlight what is happening now and raise awareness, because we cannot follow any other path. A person once told me: “I choose projects that illuminate contemporary life.” I believe it is the responsibility of all artists.

The documentary film entitled

SAMOGRAD,

THE CITY OF GOD We wanted to tell the story of a place full of secrets, mystical and miraculous, which has enormous cultural and historical, material and spiritual significance for Montenegro and Serbia, but also as a cultural and historical heritage of Europe.

Samograd, a legendary place It is located between Berane and Bijelo Polje in Montenegro. The place is known for its history and legends, and is exalted in folk songs and old records.

Samograd is the oldest monastery in Europe and dates back to the early Christian period (4th-6th centuries AD).

A cinematic story in a wonderful place Nature in Samograd is visible, it is ancient and breathes the divine. The surrounding nature of this place gives illusory representations of light and shadow.

You have the remains of a fortress and several ancient places of worship. There are also ruins of royal and imperial castles.

The artifacts were found during the search, which are not found anywhere else in the world.

The Guardians of Samograd have crafted seven enormous stones that form the hand of God that holds the places of worship within its walls. The city is fortified by these powerful guardians.

Samograd was a religious, cultural and administrative place when Islam appeared in the seventh century AD, and the Great Schism in 1054 AD, when the Catholic, Roman and Orthodox churches disappeared breaking the liturgical community. It is therefore a place of reconciliation, since it is older than religions.

The film about Samograd talks about the history of rulers, such as kings Milutin and Dragutin, king Uroš III or Stefan Dečanski, king Dušan.

Over the centuries, military leaders and rulers have given it different names.

Several names are used to describe Samograd, «the City of God», «the ancient stone city», «the walled city» and «Ta Hisar» in ancient books.

The place was conquered by the Mongols, then by the Romans, it experiences a rise in the era of the Roman Empire, when it serves as the capital during the era of Nemanjić and later Branković. It became an administrative and spiritual center where Christianity spread. It was a big city at that time.

Ultimately it was destroyed by the Turkish Empire. Now it is raised and renewed again.

Folk tales and legends about Samograd are very entertaining, as they are based on historical facts.

32

June 2024

In Samograd, everything is related to the number 7 Seven rocks protect Samograd Legends claim that Samograd was first guarded by seven wolves (a wolf, a she-wolf and five cubs). This is how the legend of the wolf race is told.

Wolves have enormous importance to history and stories of people of the Balkans.

Then you have the historical facts that King Uroš III was blinded and imprisoned in Constantinople for 7 years, then he returned to Samograd and received his sight, and that he was married to Teodora and had three children with she, then two children with Maria Paleologina, and again the emperor, empress and five children dined in Samograd, Samograd became the capital of the largest Balkan empire during her reign.

We just wanted to show the world what kind of cultural and historical wealth humanity has in Montenegro in this film, and draw the public’s attention to the fact that these monasteries need to be restored, helped and rebuilt to their glory and original form, yesteryear.

We want the proceeds from the film to be used to renovate the monasteries and sanctuaries of Samograd and Miholjska prevlaka, and to preserve cultural and historical treasures and traditions.

The documentary film «City of God» has already attracted a lot of attention at global festivals. It is, in fact, a unique story, never told about this magical and holy place, of entirely Christian and Orthodox proportions.

A popular belief according to which the 7 rocks of Samograd purify the soul of those who sincerely repent and ask for forgiveness. People believe that these rocks purify the souls of those who sincerely repent and continue to grow and will continue to grow as long as the world exists.

It is believed that in Samograd for thousands of years prayers have been heard through ancient places of worship, and that is why Samograd is the place of all the faithful and goodwill.

The film about Samograd shows the stories about wolves, rulers, centuries, religion , fate of rulers, military victories and defeats, as well as the miracles of Samograd.

Many military leaders and rulers, kings and emperors have lived in this place. Conflicts occurred and empires changed hands for centuries.

The documentary film was made in various interesting places in Montenegro. History connecting Samograd and Miholjska prevlaka. It was also filmed at Cetinje Monastery, as it is an important place for this oldest cult.

Religious history is essential.

Thanks to Metropolitan of Montenegro and Littoral Joanikije, the hand of John the Baptist, the hand that baptized Jesus Christ, as well as a piece of the Holy Cross from the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, kept in the monastery of Cetinje, will be broadcast for the first time on the big screen.

Many objects from museums are presented for the first time in a documentary film, which adds religious value and shows the world cultural and historical treasure preserved in Montenegro.

The whole crowd was great during the week of preparation and today I really had emotions that I can’t describe. It’s difficult to find the words, but it’s very important for me to feel all the love from the public, as I felt it at the tournament that I love the most.

Congratulations to Sacha for his excellent match and victory in Rome last week. I wish him much success for the rest of the tournaments. Sacha, in 2022, you had a difficult time and you deserve this victory.

June 2024

As for me, I said, I had a complicated two years because of injuries. I went through all these processes to be able to come back to Roland Garros, so it wasn’t an ideal first round. I could have done a little more than I did, but I had my chances and Sacha is a very great player.

It’s hard for me to tell you what will happen in the future. It is very likely that I will not play this tournament again at Roland Garros, but I can’t say this one hundred percent.

For the 2024 Olympic Games, I have goals. I’m going to come back, it motivates me a lot. This will be another opportunity for me and I hope to be well prepared.

The emotions I have felt on this court throughout my tennis career are extraordinary. I never would have believed as a child that I would one day be here. I didn’t expect to earn so much. I thank the Roland Garros team who have supported me all these years. I would like to thank my friends, family and everyone who helped me.
