May 14^th – 25^th marks the biggest film festival known to the world and SpoTVision will be there for the 61^st edition of FESTIVAL DE CANNES.

Since its conception, the Festival de Cannes and the Marché du Film have always been a crucial meeting point for international film industry professionals. Directors, producers and buyers alike gather each year to celebrate both the artistic and commercial nature of the industry – and to ultimately, shape the future of film. As such, the Festival remains dedicated to developing services in support of their needs.

Most of the action takes place at the famous Palais des Festivals, although screenings do take place all over the town. The beach is the place to see the starlets doing their thing, and the paparazzi following them with their cameras.

In other words, Cannes is best known for starlets and stars living it up on yachts. The festival also has a proud history of upholding artistic standards within an industry increasingly dominated by the bottom line. A favourite was in 1998 at the screening of Armageddon, during which Bruce Willis' performance spontaneously convulsed an entire audience of professional moviegoers with laughter. Everyone has its own favourite Cannes moment. Jean-Paul Sartre loved strolling the Croisette in a bathing suit in 1948, while Brigitte Bardot did the same in 1953 to a rather different effect. The list goes on until today, since numerous Hollywood and European stars enjoy following the Cannes tradition.The success and development of the Festival de Cannes has turned it into a vast city that can be easy to get lost in. No less than 40,000 professionals are accredited each year at the Festival and Marché du Film – including 2,000 directors, 6,000 distributors and 5,000 producers.
