00:13She says she hopes to highlight sincerity and a passion for cinema.
00:23Personally, I think I want to be as sincere as possible.
00:26In any case, that was my guiding principle when I prepared my speech and this ceremony,
00:32and also to share my passion for cinema, above all, as a celebration of cinema.
00:42The Cannes Film Festival remains a major event in world cinema.

00:54At first, I was really surprised.
00:56It felt a bit like something out of a dream, something unreal, impossible.

01:07For me, I think it really hit me from the moment the press release came out.
01:11That was when I truly became aware of it.
