FILM FESTIVALS
The Cannes International Film Festival
The Cannes International Film Festival
The Cannes International Film is an annual film festival held in Cannes, France, which previews new films of all genres including documentaries from around the world. Founded in 1946, it is the world's most prestigious and publicized film festival. The 65th annual Cannes Film Festival took place from May 16 to May 27, 2012.
In the Cannes International Film invites actors and actresses all over the world and diverse awards are given out on the festival. The most prestigious award is known as the Palme d’Or (“Golden Palm”) and it is given out at Cannes for the best film. In the 2012 Cannes Film festival, the Palme d’Or was given out to the movie AMOUR (LOVE) directed by Michael Haneke. Different films from diverse countries are introduced in this film festival including Hollywood, French, Belgium, Germany, Canadian, Korean, Japanese, English, Russian, Indian, Spanish, Mexican, Bosnian, Chinese, Australian, Brazilian, Thai, Turkish, New Zealand, Lebanese, Iran, Polish, Portuguese, Swedish and Bulgarian.
In my personal opinion, Cannes film festival consists of short films and these films are represented at the Competition and workshops and conferences are set aside for people to meet, exchange ideas and promote films. I think that this famous Cannes Film Festival has opened the doors to diverse films from different countries and it has allowed the directors, casts to get together and form a sense of unity in sharing ideas and thoughts in exploring the world of films.
