Le Festival International de Cannes, or The International Cannes Film Festival was first held in September 20, 1946. Dubbed as one of the world’s oldest and most influential film festival, it is held annually (typically in May) in the town of Cannes, France near the French Riviera. Because he was frustrated on the intrusion of the fascist governments of Germany and Italy in selecting the films for the Mostra del cinema di Venezia (Venice Film Festival), Jean Zay, then French Minister of National Education, created the international cinematographic festival in France.
In 2002, it officially assumed the name Festival de Cannes. About 1,000 films entered the different selections in 2010. The film fest is attended by numerous actors, actresses, directors and filmmakers every year that immense media exposure is given to it. It is also a great chance in which film producers present and eventually sell their new films to film distributors who come from all over the globe.
