The 71st Cannes International Film Festival opens Tuesday and Asian films are expected to be the highlights of this year's festival.

The Palme d'Or, arguably the biggest prize in world cinema, has been considered a perpetual old boys' club, while this year the competition is teeming with new names.

Ten of the 21 directors at the premiere competition are participating for the first time.

Film Festival President Pierre Lescure said earlier the festival this year will open a new chapter in history for selecting a new generation of films.

But the Palme d'Or competition isn't entirely devoid of familiar faces.

Eighty-seven-year-old Jean-Luc Godard, who is often seen as a competition mainstay, brings his new entry, The Image Book, a five-part film essay exploring the modern Arab world.

Chinese director Jia Zhangke and Japanese auteur Hirokazu Kore-eda are both competing for awards for the fifth time.

A total of 10 European and American films continue to lead in the number of finalists in the main competition unit, but six Asian films are included for competition, the most in recent years.
