That's so young for a Festival! It's barely the time it took Alfred Hitchcock to release doves on the steps of the Palais, the time of one twirl of Charlie Chaplin's walking stick, of one endless ovation to Ingmar Bergman when crowned Palme of Palmes, or the time to softly sing Tourbillon de la vie to Jeanne Moreau.... It's not surprising then, that, emboldened by such childhood memories, the Festival is still as demanding, as ambitious and as enthusiastic as ever! An inventive selection that is neither too traditional nor too sophisticated, a selection that is the most international in the world, open to all film genres and without forgetting the foremost among them - that of the love of film, a selection that is attentive to the arrival of new generations and which combines all the necessary conditions for the films to be hosted and honoured in the great tradition of the Festival de Cannes, a daring selection that seizes the best of the moment, a selection that creates desire, that triggers curiosity, that carries that certain vitality which currently fills film today and gives a hint of the film of tomorrow, a selection that helps these films, cinema, its creators and artists to exist and to continue their work... As for the rest, always place film at the centre of our acts. Generally, to take nothing into account other than the art of film and the pre-eminence of artistic talent, finally to facilitate transmission, so that tomorrow's Festival can continue the adventure with the combined strengths of experience and modernity."

Happy Birthday - Cannes!
Bonjour Gilles...
About 45 years ago I attended my very first Cannes... It was astounding, it was remarkable, it was Cannes! It has been and remains the Gold Standard of film festivals all over the world. Cannes is still the major festival event worldwide, it is still the 900lb Gorilla! New festivals have come and gone, and Cannes remains Cannes... through riots, changes in government, changes in people, changes in technology and changes in the taste of the public -- it is still Cannes. And why not? The Cote d'Azur, the South of France, the food, the wine, the films, the people, the excitement ... there are other festivals but there is only one Cannes. Our warmest congratulations, and best wishes for continued success for the next 60 years!
Merci ...
Hunter
