Summary

FRANCE 24's Culture Editor Eve Jackson is live at Cannes, where Day 4 is shaping up to be one of the most star-studded yet. The biggest arrival of the day is John Travolta – star of "Grease", "Saturday Night Fever" and "Pulp Fiction" – presenting his directorial debut "Propeller One-Way Night Coach", based on a children's novel he wrote for his son about the golden age of aviation. A licensed pilot as well as a Hollywood legend, this is a passion project in every sense.
