The passenger flight lists into Nice Cote d'Azur airport read like a who's who of Hollywood and the bays dance with 7 star yachts as the worlds film industry descends on Cannes for the most prestigious film festival in the world.
This year proceedings will be guided by acting President Steven Spielberg and the event will be opened by Baz Lurhmans take on 'The Great Gatsby' which couldn't be more fitting. The visionary film makers version of F.
