But even among the devoted flocks of Cannes, Mark Cousins stands out as a true believer. So it was fitting that the Cannes Film Festival turned to him to help raise spirits, and set the tone for the festival, on opening day. In “The Story of Film: A New Generation,” he describes movie theaters as where “our lives get relit.”“That’s exactly what happens," says Cousins.

Cannes Preview FILE - This May 7, 2018 file photo shows a view of the Palais des Festivals at the 71st international film festival, Cannes, southern France. This year's Cannes Film Festival will be held July 6-17 — two months later than its usual May perch. But in the past 16 months, Cannes’ Palais hasn’t been home to the movie frenzy it hosts annually. Earlier this year, it was turned into a mass-vaccination “Vaccinodrome.”On Tuesday, the Cannes Film Festival, delayed from May to July, will finally open its doors for its 74th and maybe most critical edition. (To mitigate crowds, the Cannes movie market was instead held in June.)

On Tuesday, the Cannes Film Festival will reopen.
