Attending Cannes for the fourth time, Lin said he was not aiming to win awards. "I just hope to open up the market for Taiwanese films," he said.
The festival will open on May 14 with a remake of Fanfan la Tulipe, starring Penelope Cruz and Vincent Perez. Perez plays a young 18th century French man who follows a false prediction about his fate and joins the army dreaming of marrying a general's daughter.
The two-week event will close with a screening of the newly restored 1936 movie, Charlie Chaplin's Modern Times.
