Cannes: Spanish star Javier Bardem and French actress Charlotte Gainsbourg declared the Cannes film festival officially open Tuesday.
The 12-day marathon, the biggest movie jamboree in the world, began with a screening of US director Jim Jarmusch's zombie flick "The Dead Don't Die", which stars pop idol Selena Gomez and a small army of A-list Hollywood actors led by Bill Murray, Adam Driver, Chloe Sevigny and Tilda Swinton.
