And the Arquette siblings are in Cannes to promote their much- buzzed-about documentary about older actresses' lives and work called ``Searching for Debra Winger.'' But the big Cannes do's are just beginning.

There's a late-night rave planned for Michael Winterbottom's ``24 Hour Party People,'' and DreamWorks is celebrating its animated film ``Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron'' with a beach party.
