The Cannes film festival is probably one of the most amazing film festivals around the world. It is also one of the most well known film festival occurring every year usually in the middle of May. Cannes 2010 will take place between the 12th and the 23rd of May.
The Cannes Film Festival is one of the oldest film festivals in the world that was created shortly after the second world in nineteen forty six in Cannes. Originally, the idea of this film festival was born in the nineteen thirties when some people were shocked by the interference of Germany and Italy in the decisions over which movies should win in the Venice film festival. Interestingly, Cannes was not the first obvious choice of city to host this film festival, and the city was competing with other French cities like Vichy and Biarritz or Algiers in French Algeria. There are around fifteen different awards that can be won on this film festival, with the most well known and the one thought after by every film present at the Cannes film festival being the golden palm rewarding the best film.
There are a lot of other well known film festivals in the world that, even if they are not as famous as the Cannes Film Festival, are still extremely good and important. The world first film festival was actually held in Venice before the Cannes film festival in 1932.
Venice and the golden lion award, or Berlin and its golden bear are among these well known film festivals but don't have the same success as Cannes.
