Animated film 'In Waves', directed by Phuong Mai Nguyen, will open the 65th edition of Cannes Critics' Week, the sidebar that runs alongside the main Cannes festival from May 13 to 21. The film is an adaptation of AJ Dungo's cult graphic novel, inspired by Dungos' love story. It is produced by French group Silex Films and features voices from Will Sharpe and Stephanie Hsu. The English-language version of In Waves is set in California and follows a skateboarder and a surfer who later become lovers. Other notable features include "Dododod", a new film from Kosovan director Blerta Basholli, "A Girl Unknown," and "The Station". The seven competition films are in the running for the Louis Roederer Foundation Rising Star Award and the Le Grand Prix AMI Paris.
