Festival de Cannes (13th to 24th May)

Since September 1946 the festival de Cannes is the most important film event in the world, where you can find the most recognised artists, jet-set, glamorous people and more than 40,000 journalists. This event is covered by all the major TV channels in the world and reflects the French glamour: Art, Cote d’Azur and luxury. The prestige is especially due to the film selection, press enthusiasm, new approaches of our society and the latest technologies for the film industry. This year, it will be held between 13th to 24th May.
The festival de Cannes contains the official selection, the most famous part of the event, and others such as films out of competition, shorts in competition, special screenings or the cinefondation (student movies). The official selection regroups “un certain regard”, which shows an original message and a new cinema expression, and the competition with the most highly recognised artists.

The highlight of the festival de Cannes is the closing ceremony jury awards where they award the Palme d’Or, the grand prix, the best actor and actress, the best director, the best script and the most expected: the jury prize.
