From the way he lines up upcoming projects, one would think Selton Mello has 72 hours in the day. But the crunched-up schedule is a joy, not a burden, to the Brazilian actor, who is hungry to capitalize on the continuous momentum of Walter Salles’s Oscar-winning “I’m Still Here.”

Currently undergoing a period of many firsts in his decades-long career — having just starred in his first big Hollywood production alongside Jack Black and Paul Rudd in Tom Gormican’s “Anaconda” and acting in French for the first time in João Paulo Miranda Maria’s “I Don’t Even Know Who I Was” — the actor is now gearing up to experience his first-ever Cannes with Dominga Sotomayor’s “La Perra,’ also his first-ever film in Spanish.
