“I’m very humble in accepting your offer to be president. … It’s going to be magnifique. I have a special place in my heart for Paris, for France, for the Cannes Film Festival. Way back in 1986, my very first film, She’s Gotta Have It played there, and it was my introduction to the world of cinema. So, Cannes will always, always, always have a deep, deep spot in my heart. Book my flight now. My wife Tonya and I are coming,” added the acclaimed director in a video conversation with the festival’s organizers.
