Director Steven Spielberg is presiding over the jury and French actress Audrey Tautou is hosting the event.
Much of the world's attention is focused on the 20 films competing for the top award, the Palme d'Or.
Baz Luhrmann's 3D spectacular 'The Great Gatsby' is hotly tipped to take the prize. The 1920s-set drama, based on a novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald, is opening the festival.
