Top five moments from the Cannes Film Festival in France


Hollywood stars have travelled to Cannes for the 67th Film Festival to promote their upcoming movies and compete for the Palme d'Or award.


Film-makers and journalists from around the world are at the event in France, for one of the biggest events in the film industry calendar.


Upcoming releases, including Grace of Monaco, How to Train Your Dragon 2 and The Rover have had their premieres.


Check out some other moments, away from the screen, that have made headlines.


Premiere ambush

'It felt like a crazy weird dream,' America Ferrera said of the moment a man stuck his head up her dress on the red carpet for How to Train Your Dragon 2.


'Of all the things I prepared myself for, that was not one of them,' she told New York magazine.


'Middle Ages'

Cate Blanchett also posed on the red carpet with a mechanical dragon to promote How to Train Your Dragon 2.


Asked about her views on women in the film industry, she said: 'We live in a world where there's still not equal pay for equal work, and I just don't understand why in 2014 that's still the case.


'I feel like sometimes we're back in the Middle Ages.'


Tank trip

The cast of The Expendables 3, including Harrison Ford and Jason Statham, rolled onto the red carpet on a tank.


'The chance to work with all these guys is very, very rare,' said Sylvester Stallone, the film's original star and creator, sitting at a press conference between Arnold Schwarzenegger and Mel Gibson.


Red carpet regular

Blake Lively has been one of the most photographed stars at this year's festival, walking a number of red carpets in a variety of different outfits.


She was also pictured with her husband Ryan Reynolds, accompanying him to the premiere of his new film The Captive.


Mockingjay party

Producers held a party in Cannes for the cast of the latest instalment of the Hunger Games franchise.


'It is like being in high school, we are hanging out with friends all day and people that we really care about,' said Liam Hemsworth, who plays Gale Hawthorne.


'We spend so many years together and have grown so much together that you know it is just like play time all day long.'
