The festival was originally created to reward the best film, the best director, the best actor and the best actress. Over the years, other prizes awarded by a jury of professionals, artists and intellectuals have been added to the prestige of Cannes, such as the Jury Prize, the Grand Prix and above all the Palme d’Or. It is the largest film festival in the world, founded 70 years ago. It lasts for a fortnight, from 17 to 28 May.
Every day, several films are shown in the city’s cinemas and are seen by hundreds of journalists, who then give their opinion, but also by many film lovers. The festival is very famous for its “montée des marches”: every day, more or less famous actors, but also TV and advertising personalities, walk the red carpet. Just below, in the basement of the Palais des Festivals, is the international film market.
Just like in a real market, there are dozens of stands, and more than 10,000 professionals from all over the world meet there to buy or sell films, and to be able to screen them in cinemas a few months later.
When you come to Cannes, you know in advance that you will
