Read the text. Then do Exercise 1.

Every year there are many film festivals which take place in different countries around the world. Some of them include the Asian Festival of First Films, the Berlin International Film Festival, the Venice Film Festival and Moscow International Film Festival to name a few. Perhaps the most prestigious festival takes place in France and is known as the Cannes Film Festival.

The Cannes Film Festival was officially founded in 1946 making it one of the oldest film festivals today. It is usually held every year in May at the Palais des Festival et des Congres and lasts twelve days. The festival’s history, however, starts before its official launching. In the late 1930s the fascist governments of Italy and Germany interfered with the selection of films that would be shown at the Mostra del cinema di Venezia in Italy. That is when Jean Zay decided to create a film festival in France. The first festival to be held in Cannes was scheduled for the month of September in 1939. However, the festival never took place because Germany attacked Poland on the 1st of September after which Britain and France declared war on Germany, and World War II began.

After the Second World War was over, the first film festival in Cannes finally took place in1946. Since then it has become the largest international showcase of cinema. Many filmmakers who are unknown look forward to the festival to get a chance to show their work. Unlike the Oscars, everyone has a chance to show their films at Cannes. Journalists and people involved in film from all over the world come to Cannes in May to meet with each other. Of course, unless you are in the media or involved in film it is very unlikely that you would be able to be a part of any of the events.

Cannes is known for showing all kinds of films, which is what makes it so attractive to so many people who search for different things when they watch a movie. As in other film festivals, awards are given to the best movies and the people who make them. There are two categories of awards: Feature Films and Short films. A committee chooses the people that decide which films will be awarded. These people are chosen from the film industry and for the past years they have almost all been either directors or actors. There are a lot of awards given at Cannes, but the most important one is the Palm d’Or which is given to the best feature film and the best short film.

Perhaps more important than the awards, is the opportunity for new films, new artists and new artistic approaches to be seen by important people in the film world.  Whether or not a movie wins the Palme d'Or, it has the opportunity of grabbing the attention of film critics and producers who can really help the movie as its director and actors become known around the world.
