The Cannes Film Festival is a big moment on the calendar for any film company fortunate enough to have a film in contention at the glitzy fest.

For Anonymous Content, the arrival of Cannes marks the start of a new chapter for the company under president and CEO Darren Walker. Anonymous has three films getting a showcase on the Croisette this year, including the competition title “Parallel Tales” from two-time Oscar winner Asghar Farhadi. Walker, who took the helm of Anonymous in January, says the strong showing with film “reflects the momentum we’re building, and it reflects the years of hard work that preceded me as the leader — I want to really acknowledge that.”
