**Broe On The World Film Beat: Highlighting the anti-capitalist Ken Loach drama 'I, Daniel Blake' taking top prize at Cannes. Arts Express Paris correspondent Dennis Broe on location at Cannes with a full report. Including Sonia Braga battling greedy land developers in Aquarius, and the modeling industry horror film Neon Dreams.  In which the literally cutthroat fashion world is plagued by undead models even further divorced from their bodies, when not clad in gold attire signifying their transformation into commodities.

Also, excerpts from the Ken Loach Cannes press conference. And, Loach remarking how strange to receive the award in such glamorous surroundings, considering the conditions endured by those people who inspired the film.  "We must say that another world is possible and necessary."
