Cannes Film Festival

The Cannes Film Festival is without a doubt the biggest film festival in France, if not the world. This year, it begins on May 17th and concludes on May 28th. It is one of the ‘big three’ major European film festivals with the Venice Film Festival and the Berlin International Film Festival. As well as this, it is one of the “Big Five” major global film festivals. This is the three major European film festivals, the Toronto International Film Festival and the Sundance Film Festival. The annual festival began in 1946, just after WWII, and has run since then every year.

Usually, the population of Cannes triples during the festival, from 74,000 to over 200,000. The festival accounts for about €195.87 million in financial impact. This is a large portion of the annual €800.7 million induced by tourism activity in Cannes. To go, you must be invited, and not all are able to go. Over the years, many of Hollywood’s A-list stars have gone.
