"35mm film is something you can touch and see. It was very expensive to order new reels, so we asked the editors if they had something in their garage. The Pixar people found some!"

Screenplay writer Paul Laverty said "people like traditional technology so we're going to keep on cutting films."


A total of 18 feature films have been selected in Competition. The winners will be announced on May 24, one day before the originally planned date due to the European Parliament elections on May 25.
