The children of filmmakers Steven Spielberg and Martin Scorsese star in a Christmas film premiering in a Cannes Film Festival sidebar section, organisers announced on Tuesday.
"Christmas Eve In Miller's Point" stars Sawyer Spielberg and Francesca Scorsese alongside comedy favourite Michael Cera ("Superbad").
It will play in the Directors' Fortnight, a non-competitive section of the festival highlighting outsider voices.
The younger Scorsese, 24, has had a high-profile role in HBO series "We Are Who We Are".
The Directors' Fortnight will open with "This Life of Mine" by French director Sophie Fillieres, who died last year.
Several countries where filmmaking is challenging are highlighted, including Argentina ("Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed", Egypt ("East of Noon") and a first Palestinian entry ("To a Land Unknown").
There are four American films, a sign of life for its indie sector, including the intriguing "Eephus" about small-time baseball, starring veteran documentarian Frederick Wiseman and Keith William Richards ("Uncut Gems").
