Cannes
Cannes is the "star" of the French Riviera, famous for the International Film Festival and the glitzy hotels, cars, beaches and visitors attracted here. Although it's probably the opposite of the Beyond type villages of the "arrière pays", it would be a shame to visit the South of France without experiencing the city for you.

FESTIVAL DE CANNES
Cannes Film Festival:
What: International Film Festival
Month: May 13 - 24 May 2009 (annual)
The Cannes Film Festival is a prestigious forum for all styles, schools and genres of film. As well as being the most special place for film industry professionals to meet, the Festival is especially attentive to the talent of artists that contribute to the growth of the medium
Cannes is the biggest and most famous film festival in the world. Most of the action takes place at the famous Palais des Festivals, although screenings do take place all over the town.
Best known for starlets on the beach, stars on yachts and fractious bunfights at controversial screenings, the festival also has a proud history of upholding artistic standards within an industry increasingly dominated by the bottom line.
In 1939, the world's leading film festival - Venice - was apparently being run by Fascist stooges. In response, the enterprising French drew up plans for the first Cannes Film Festival. Unfortunately, the war intervened and only one movie - The Hunchback of Notre Dame - was actually screened. In 1946, the first complete festival went ahead. Over the next few years the festival consolidated its post-war head start and, despite some changes to its structure over the years, has been the world's leading festival for as long as anyone can remember.
The beach is the place to see the starlets doing their thing, and although most Cannes Film Festival Events are strictly by invitation only, there are daily film screenings open to the public on Mace beach and also as part of Directors' Fortnight.
In addition to the main competition, the festival has a fiercely competitive short film competition and the Un Certain Regard competition which includes high-quality features deemed not suitable for the main competition, yet certainly worthy of recognition.
