"Daft Punk is a French electronic music duo formed in Paris in 1993 by Guy-Manuel de Homem Christo and Thomas Bangalter." This is how Wikipedia describes Daft Punk, however, fans of the duo know that Daft Punk is more than just an electronic music duo, they are a multi-talented powerhouse who have dipped their toes in almost all forms of entertainment. Of these non-musical endeavors, the most prominent is undoubtably their love of film and all things cinema. This is made evident by their appearances at the Cannes Film Festival over the years, both as directors and as fans of cinema in general.

The Cannes Film Festival celebrated its 70th anniversary in 2017. Thomas was sure to be in attendance for this occasion. He and his wife were spotted exiting their vehicle and entering their hotel preceding the festival. During the opening ceremony, Thomas and Elodie were captured on camera in the crowd by sheer coincidence. This year in addition to his wife, Thomas' son Tara Jay (an aspiring actor) accompanied them. Thomas and his son were spotted on the red carpet before the closing ceremony. The trio were again captured on camera during the ceremony, this time seemingly on purpose as Elodie is in the center of the shot. After the closing ceremony of the 70th anniversary, Thomas, Elodie, and Tara Jay were spotted exiting along with the rest of the crowd. Tara Jay acted as a shield from the cameras as they walked by, whether this was on purpose or not, I found it amusing.
