 PARIS (AP) - An Iraqi film will compete at the Cannes Film Festival for the first time, vying for the top prize against veteran directors and past winners such as Gus Van Sant.
The United States accounts for four of the 20 movies (from 13 countries) selected to compete at the festival running May 11-22, organizers announced Tuesday. The awards will be announced May 21.
Among the U.S. entries: the directing debut by Tommy Lee Jones, "The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada," and the graphic-novel adaptation "Sin City," co-directed by Frank Miller and Robert Rodriguez.
