The Cannes Film Festival is the world’s biggest celebration of movies. Every year, thousands of directors, actors, and reporters gather in the south of France for the event.
New films are shown, awards are given out, and educational activities are held.
The first festival took place in 1946. Since then, it has been the top event for filmmakers to show their work on the world stage. Several prizes for outstanding work are awarded.
The Palme d’Or(Golden Palm) and Grand Prix(Grand Prize) are given to the year’s best films. Judges also award prizes for the best actor, actress, and director, among other categories.
Cannes is truly a global event, and movies from Asia have been honored on many occasions. Japan’s first Golden Palm winner was Teinosuke Kinugasa for Gate of Hell in 1954. Shohei Imamura won twice, for Ballad of Narayama(1983) and The Eel(1997).In 2004, Mamoru Oshii’s Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence was nominated for a Golden Palm, the first time that an animated film was so honored.
The festival is also an important marketplace, bringing together filmmakers and distributors looking for new releases. In 2013, 1420 films were shown at the Marché du Film (Film Market). Movies also receive free publicity from the event’s news coverage. Nearly 4000 reporters from 86 countries covered the festivities in 2013.
Cannes encourages the growth of filmmaking, with directors like Martin Scorsese putting on master classes. Also, the festival awards a yearly prize―the Caméra d’Or (Golden Camera)―to the best debut entry. Plus, numerous student films are shown, helping young moviemakers get a foot in the door of a tough business.
There’s certainly a lot to see and do during the Cannes Film Festival. Most importantly, film lovers can watch movies which are funny, sad, exciting, and thoughtful. With all the attention the festival receives, it’s no wonder filmmakers are eager to win one of its prestigious awards.
