DESCRIPTION:

The Cannes International Film Festival began as an initiative of Jean Zay, Minister for Education and Fine Arts, who was keen to establish an international cultural event in France to rival the Venice Film Festival.

The first edition of the festival was planned for Cannes in 1939 under the presidency of Louis Lumière. However, WWII got in the way. The first Cannes Film Festival occurred on September 20, 1946; in 1952, it moved to May.

While early editions of the festival were primarily a social event where nearly all films went away with an award, the appearance of stars from around the world on the festival's red carpet and increasing media coverage quickly earned the event its legendary international reputation.

Today it is one of the world's most star-studded and anticipated events and a prestigious venue to debut new films.

PLEASE NOTE:
Treat all televised and venue-specific events (sporting, concerts, trade shows, etc.) as estimated. Several factors can cause an event to move dates at the last minute, including weather, strikes, natural disasters, political upheaval, conflicting programming, pandemics, and current events. Because of this, always verify the event with the promotor before committing resources. LEEP often estimates dates based on the previous year's schedules, as the final dates are only a few months, weeks, or days before the event. If the date is known to be estimated, you will see an (est) following the date in the title.
