Steven Spielberg continues his summer trip to France in the middle of the Cannes Film Festival at the Eden Roc Hotel

Steven Spielberg was seen leaving the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Cannes, France on Wednesday amid the ongoing Cannes Film Festival.

The 74-year-old director donned a light purple long-sleeved top with light blue jeans and white trainers on a summer’s day on the French Riviera.

The Cincinnati-born filmmaker completed his ensemble with a navy cap, scarf and dark mask during the daytime outing, a day after the festival kicked off in its 74th year after being anticipated a year due to the pandemic of COVID-19.

The director of cinematic classics such as Lincoln, Schindler’s List and Jurassic Park was previously seen in the area on Tuesday on a boat trip with his wife Kate Capshaw, 66, daughters Sasha, 31, and Destry, 24 years old, and his son Theo, 31 years old.

The three-time Oscar winner in 2013 chaired the film competition jury, a role played by acclaimed director Spike Lee this year.

He has already presented films in the party including 1974’s The Sugarland Express, which was in competition; as well as films that weren’t in competition, including 1982’s ET the Extra-Terrestrial, 1986’s The Color Purple, and 2008’s Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

The festival’s return marks the first major film festival since the coronavirus put an end to large gatherings in March 2020.

Precautions continue amid the continued spread of the delta variant of the coronavirus – which has had increasing numbers in Europe – amid concerns about the influx of foreign visitors into town for the festival, according to the PA.

Attendees must wear masks and get tested for the virus every 48 hours, while people are allowed to sit next to each other during screenings.

The festival’s artistic director, Thierry Frémaux, said organizers were “reasonable” and “very careful” in crafting the terms of the ongoing annual cutscene to balance functionality with appropriate safety precautions.

“We always said last year that if the festival was canceled it was because the situation was more serious than the existence of a film festival which is also the biggest festival in the world,” Frémaux said. “And the situation, as you know, was serious. It’s not over. The epidemic is not defeated.
