Cannes and INA partnered to launch a new website illustrating 60 years of Cannes festivities with sound and video archiveshttp://www.ina-festivaldecannes.com/ In all, the site contains 300 hours of footage packaged in 1,500 excerpts dating back to the festival's first edition in 1946.

As the Cannes Film Festival moves into its final weekend, it seems that the fine art of booing is still very much “en vogue

Well, if one needed further proof of how far apart most film critics are from the cinematic tastes of the general public, you need look no further than THE DA VINCI CODE. The film, which famously opened this year’s Cannes Film Festival, was practically laughed at by assembled critics on the Croisette, who had come to bury the film, not praise it.
When the film opened internationally this past weekend, more film critics joined the chorus of nay-sayers, calling the film everything from “borin...
For several personal reasons, I am not attending the Cannes Film Festival this year, a sojourn that I have taken more than 15 times in the last 20 years. So, here I sit nearly 5000 miles and six time zones away, remembering previous Croisette crawls and still feeling the rumblings of an event like no other in the film business.
I remember the long, meandering walks along the famously crowded Croisette, the flop sweat of rushing from one meeting to another interview, the exasperation of negotia...

I came for the first time to the Palace of the "Festival de Cannes" on may 15th to meet all others students who will work during the Cannes Festival and to know more about what we will all be doing. That day i learned that i will work for "Le marché du Film".
Probably you don't know what it is so i am going to try to explain what it is! In the Festival of Cannes there is two big parts. One part is the artistic wo...

While somewhat of a departure from the glamorous star-studded fest of yesteryear, the 2005 Deauville Film Festival brought a series of independent films to the Normandy coast in celebration of American cinema. Religion, the banality of daily life and hardship in the ghetto were among the more popular subjects explored by the directors who came to sunny Deauville to present their labors of love. Cameron Crowe's Elizabethtown, Paul Haggis' Crash and Tim Burton's The Corpse Bride were among the m...

A word from the Presidents If you are elected, you embody a certain legitimacy and you have the responsibility of defining the policy of the institution you lead. This year I was determined that the event should not lose sight of two axes that I consider to be of primary importance: pleasure in meeting up and an invitation to go on a journey.To film is to chart a passage. Someone - a spectator - is doing the same thing in the opposite direction. He and the cinematographer meet in the middle and ...
