Cannes International Film Festival
May 16 to May 27
The Cannes International Film Festival has been screening films since 1946, and is widely considered to be the most prestigious film festival in the world. Films are submitted from all over the globe, including documentaries, short films and feature length films. Besides the film competitions, awards are also given to internationally renowned artists, actors or directors. A Retrospective is held, which either focuses on a number of films by a specific director, or a number of films within a certain theme (for example, in 2000 the theme was 'The Cinema Dreams of the Future'). Also of interest is the Lecon de Cinema, which consists of a lecture by a well-known film director on their artistic evolution, as well as what drew them to cinema.
