Glamor and talent

The Cannes Film Festival awards the best of the seventh art and also supports film production. When the month of May arrives every year, the attentions are all turned to this great event of international reputation.

This event is the responsibility of the French Association of the International Film Festival. The icing on the cake is the Closing Ceremony, which has the highest degree of popularity throughout the event. This is because big celebrities of the seventh art walk by in the wide red carpet.

The most important prizes are: Palme d'Or, Grand Prix, Female and Male Interpretation Prize, Achievement Prize, Best Screenplay Prize, Jury Prize, Golden Palm for Best Short Film, Jury Prize for Best Short Film and House of Gold.

The difficult start

The Festival has a troubled history, in what refers to the launch of its first edition. In 1939, Louis Lumière was invited to be the festival's president, due to take place for two weeks in September. The choice of the city was unanimous, Cannes. Due to World War II, it ended up not being realized.

In 1945, the French Association of Artistic Action is in charge of the launch. This year marks the 1st edition of the International Cannes Film Festival. In 1948 and 1950 it was not possible to carry it out for financial reasons. At 1951, the event starts to happen in May, something that continues to this day.

In 1968, the festival was interrupted in solidarity with workers and students who were on strike, a time known in history as May 68.
