The Cannes Film Festival: The Biggest Cinema Event In The World.
The Cannes Film Festival is undoubtedly the most important cinematic event in the world. An artistic and media event, this prestigious festival is also the privileged meeting place for all film professionals who attend its Film Market.
A festival with international prestige.
The prestige of the city of Cannes is inseparably linked to its international film festival. Every year, during the second half of May, the Azurean city is in the spotlight for the famous Cannes Film Festival.
For over 75 years, this festival has been dedicated to selecting and promoting films and artists, welcoming film professionals, and supporting creation.
For ten days, the city of Cannes lives and breathes cinema while the Croisette and the Palais des Festivals are stormed by photographers from all over the world.
The 2023 edition.
The 76th Cannes Film Festival will take place from May 16th to May 27th, 2023.
Swedish director Ruben Östlund, who won an award at Cannes last year, will be the president of the feature film jury. He will have the privilege of presenting the Palme d'Or of the festival.
With the improvement of the global health situation, Hollywood stars will return in droves to the Croisette and author films from around the world will be screened during the festival.
On May 16th, Johnny Depp will be in Cannes to present "Jeanne du Barry," the opening film in which he co-stars with French actress Maïwenn. The same evening, 78-year-old Michael Douglas will receive a Lifetime Achievement Award.
Another highly anticipated event is the red carpet premiere of the entire "Indiana Jones and the Fate Frame" team on Thursday, May 18th.
On Saturday, May 20th, Martin Scorsese's new film "Killers of The Flower Moon" with Robert De Niro and Leonardo DiCaprio will be presented out of competition. This is a major event as the two actors had not worked together since Michael Caton-Jones' "This Boy's Life"!
A veritable rain of international stars is expected on the steps of the Palais des Festivals: Scarlett Johansson, Tom Hanks, and Adrien Brody for Wes Anderson's "Asteroïd City." Natalie Portman and Julianne Moore for Todd Haynes' "May December." Sean Penn for Jean-Stéphane Sauvaire's "Black Flies," Jude Law and Alicia Vikander for Karim Aïnouz's "Firebrand," or Ben Affleck for Robert Rodriguez's "Hypnotic." Who can top that?
