Indian model Aishwarya Rai poses while arriving for the opening ceremony and the screening of 3D animated movie “Up” during the 62nd Cannes Film Festival on May 13, 2009. Cannes will add a new chapter to its history — and give a nod to what some hail as the future of cinema — when the Riviera film festival kicks off today with a 3D animated movie, Pixar’s “Up”. The hotly-awaited premiere of “Up” will make cinematic history as it becomes the first-ever animated feature, and the first three-dimensional movie to open the world’s paramount cinema showcase running May 13 to 24.
