Ever since its creation, the Festival de Cannes has remained faithful to its founding purpose: to draw attention to, and raise the profile of films with the aim of contributing towards the development of cinema, boosting the film industry worldwide and celebrating cinema at an international level.

While maintaining a strong connection to its past, the Festival is very ready to take on board new and original concepts. Over the years, it has evolved, while maintaing its core values: a passion for cinema, the discovery of new talent, and the assembling of professionals and journalists from around the world with the aim of contributing to the creation and distribution of films.

With each year, new projects will be conceived, experiences will be shared and different cultures will come into contact: it is this dynamic that makes the Festival de Cannes a true reflection of its time.
