(FILES) This file photo taken on March 13, 2018 shows US-born British film director Terry Gilliam posing during a photo session at the Opera Bastille in Paris. On May 7, 2018, a Paris court will rule, if the screening of the film "The man who killed Don Quixote" can take place during the Cannes Film Festival. The festival on April 30 denounced an attempt to thwart the world premiere of one of the most cursed films in history, standing by its director, Monty Python's Terry Gilliam. "The Man Who Killed Don Quixote", which Gilliam has finally finished after nearly two decades of repeated disasters, was due to close the world's top film festival in the south of France. But the comedy's former producer Paulo Branco launched a legal challenge on April 25 to stop the screening and its French cinema release, claiming that his company Alfama Films owns the rights. Festival organisers said that they backed Gilliam, although they will respect a court ruling due on May 7 -- a day before Cannes opens -- on whether or not the screening can go ahead. / AFP PHOTO / STEPHANE DE SAKUTIN
