The film was presented by director Ruben Östlund, producer Philipp Bober, leading actors Woody Harrelson, Harris Dickinson, Charlbi Dean Creek, Zlatko Buric, Arvin Kananyan, and Sunny Melles, Henrik Dorsin, Vicky Berlin, Dolly De Leon, and Ralph Shiha. The premieres were also attended by top Polish model Anja Rubik, socialite Victoria Hervey, actress Larsen Thompson, and other stars. After Cannes was completely canceled in 2020 and held under strict health protocol in 2021, the red carpet returned to all its glamor for the opening ceremony on Tuesday night.

A series of TikTok stars is set to sponsor the award for short films this year after organizers tried to refresh their image by partnering with a video streaming platform. Earlier, It was reported that the Brazilian supermodel Alessandra Ambrosio in a brilliant bustier dress, attended the premiere of the film "Three Thousand Years of Wishes" in Cannes.
