The Cannes Film Festival opened up Tuesday with crowded red carpet arrivals, a star-studded ceremony and a call from Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for the world of cinema to speak out against the war.

“We need a new Chaplin to prove that today cinema is not silent,” said Zelenskyy, referring to Charlie Chaplin’s satire of Adolf Hitler at the outset of World War Two in 1939.

Event organizers had rolled out the red carpet earlier in the day, as cinema stars, festival goers and oglers gathered for the 75th anniversary event, bringing buzz and glamour back to the French Riviera resort, as well as discussions about the role of cinema during times of conflict. In the opening ceremony, festival president Pierre Lescure handed Forest Whitaker an Honorary Palme d’Or for lifetime achievement, prompting a standing ovation.
