Strand will focus on the history of Cannes for the festival’s 70th anniversary.

Cannes Film Festival (May 17-28) has unveiled the line-up for this year’s Classic programme, with 24 screenings set to take place alongside five documentaries and one short film.

Documentaries about cinema including Filmworker - which focuses of Stanley Kubrick’s right hand man Leon Vitali, who played a crucial role behind the scenes of the director’s films - as well as Cary Grant doc Becoming Cary Grant, are set to feature.

This year’s selection is also set to focus on the history of the festival itself, with prize-winning films such as Michelangelo Antonioni Grand 1966 Prix winning film Blow-Up and Henri-Georges Clouzot’s Le Salaire de la peur (The Wages of Fear) from 1952 screening.

Nagisa Oshima’s 1976 film Ai No Korîda (In The Realm Of The Senses/L’Empire Des Sens), Luis Buñuel’s 1967 classic Belle De Jour (Beauty Of The Day...

While Cannes Film Festival premieres some of the best new films of the year, they also have a rich history of highlighting cinema history with their Cannes Classics line-up, many of which are new restorations of films that previously premiered at the festival. This year they are taking that idea further, featuring 16 films that made history at the festival, along with a handful of others, and five new documentaries. So, if you can’t make it to Cannes, to get a sense of restorations that may come to your city (or on Blu-ray) in the coming months/years, check out the line-up below.

Mommy and me style!

Going on another coordinated outing, Selma Blair lovingly watches over her 14-month-old son Arthur Saint as they don matching shirts during a day at the beach Thursday in Los Angeles.

“I never want to leave his side. I’m one of those hovering mothers and I know it’s really important to have an independent child, so I’m trying to back off, but it’s hard,” the actress, 40, told People.

Blair is rumored to have reportedly split from Arthur’s father, fashion designer Jason Bleick, whom she began dating about a year...

Blue-eyed babe!

A beaming Selma Blair keeps a loving grip on her little cutie, 3-month-old son Arthur Saint, while heading to dinner in New York Wednesday.

The actress (and sleepy new mama), 39, says she hasn’t focused on fitness since her baby boy’s birth in July.

“I went to Pilates twice. I was too tired and falling over,” Blair laughs.

“I’m breastfeeding. I have lost maybe one pound since I left the hospital, but it’s tightened up a little.”

Arthur is her first child with boyfriend Jason Bleick.
