The 61st Annual Cannes Film Festival was held May 14 through 25, 2008. In addition to films selected for competition this year, major Hollywood productions such as Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and Kung Fu Panda had their world premieres at the festival.
The British press reported the list of films in competition this year was notable for its absence of British films for the second successive year.[1][2]
