Cannes 2022: A unique perspective on a 19th-century voyage to Iceland in 'Godland'

All eyes are on the films competing for the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival, but our reporter Olivia Salazar-Winspear has been checking out the “Un Certain Regard” sidebar section. Icelandic director Hlynur Palmason takes us on a cinematic voyage back to 19th-century Iceland in "Godland", as a Danish priest attempts to build a church on the island and encounters natural and human obstacles along the way. We also find out how David Cronenberg’s horror film "Crimes of The Future" is being received on the French Riviera. Plus we take a look at events celebrating the festival's 75th anniversary.
