WHAT WE THINK!

The Cannes International Film Festival (French: Le Festival International du Film de Cannes or just Festival de Cannes), founded in 1946, is the most prestigious film festival in the world. The private festival is held annually (usually in May) at the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès, in the resort town of Cannes, in the south of France. The festival has become an important showcase for European films, along with other festivals such as Venice and Berlin, Cannes offers an opportunity to determine a particular country's image of its cinema and generally foster the notion that European cinema is "art" cinema. Additionally, given massive media exposure, the non-public festival is attended by many movie stars and is a popular venue for film producers to launch their new films and attempt to sell their works to the distributors who come from all over the globe.
