Introduction
May 14th – 25th marks the biggest film festival known to the world and SpoTVision will be there for the 61st edition of
FESTIVAL DE CANNES.
Since its conception, the Festival de Cannes and the Marché du Film have always been a crucial meeting point for international film industry professionals. Directors, producers and buyers alike gather each year to celebrate both the artistic
and commercial nature of the industry – and to ultimately,
shape the future of film. As such, the Festival remains
dedicated to developing services
in support of their needs.
Most of the action takes place at the famous Palais des Festivals, although screenings do take place all over the town. The beach is the place to see the starlets doing their thing, and the paparazzi following them with their cameras.
In other words, Cannes is best known for starlets and stars living it up on yachts. The festival also has a proud history of upholding artistic standards within an industry increasingly
dominated by the bottom line. A favourite was in 1998 at the screening of Armageddon, during which Bruce Willis' performance spontaneously convulsed an entire audience of professional moviegoers with laughter. Everyone has its own favourite Cannes moment. Jean-Paul Sartre loved strolling the Croisette in a bathing suit in 1948, while Brigitte Bardot did the same in 1953 to a rather different effect. The list goes on until today, since numerous Hollywood and European stars enjoy following the Cannes tradition.
The success and development of the Festival de Cannes has turned it into a vast city that can be easy to get lost in. No less than 40,000 professionals are accredited each year at the Festival and Marché du Film – including 2,000 directors, 6,000 distributors and 5,000 producers.
Sean Penn actor/director will welcome the 61st edition of Festival de Cannes as the president of the jury. President Stephen Fears and his Jury onto the stage of the Palais des Festivals.
Every year, the Festival is a major crossroads for the Film Industry. A total of over 30,000 cinema professionals, including distributors, producers, directors, actors, technicians and the media , and over 200,000 people ,meet in Cannes for over 900 screenings at the Palais and numerous other cinema events and a dazzling 117 countries attend this amazing festival.

Cannes is a place were a lot of money is spent and where Luxury is the trend, all the big names and companies attend the festival from all over the globe giving it the buzz of quality and glamour. All the big names in the business from big celebrity stars that include Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, Nicole Kidman, Bruce Willis and many more, high rollers from CEO’S to presidents of the biggest companies.

Cannes the venue
Known to the world as the most amazing film festival
that gathers people from all around the world, located
in the Grasse region, Cannes owes its brilliant growth
to tourism. The Hotel Gonnet de la Reine, the first luxury hotel on the Croisette, was built in 1858 and the Winter Casino in 1907. This is where the Palais des Festivals now stands. The 1st Cannes Film Festival took place in 1946.
