A Festival with a conscience
Each May, all eyes in the film industry are on the Festival de Cannes. The organisation puts its profile and platform to work in giving film the space to shine, ensuring a huge diversity of voices, sensibilities and talents are showcased. Showing faith and commitment to hearing these voices rise up to bear witness to their times is what has gradually shaped the Festival as we know it today.
For freedom of expression, equality and diversity
In 1939, the Festival was born, buoyed by an urge to free film-making from all political influence in a “spirit of friendship and universal cooperation”. Over the decades, its founders’ humanist values have formed the bedrock of each edition. And what about today?
For a green festival
Bringing the world’s biggest film festival to life has always been an artistic and financial challenge. It’s now an environmental challenge too, as the organisation upholds to take long-term action in implementing planet-friendly measures.
For hospitality
The Festival strives to remain outward-looking and open-minded, fuelled by its founding commitment to freedom and humanism. It has a duty to provide a warm, welcoming, inclusive and safe space for all.
