Which town on the French Riviera holds a film festival?
Cannes 1) “It’s difficult to get much more glamorous than the Cannes Film Festival, where the movie screenings are almost of secondary importance to being seen in all the right places. During the festival, which takes place in May every year, the French Riviera town of Cannes becomes a haven for Hollywood star-spotting. The likes of Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, George Clooney, Julia Roberts, Johnny Depp and Tom Cruise descend on the Côte d’Azur for film premieres and celebrity parties. The main hub of the action is the Palais des Festivals (Festival Palace), a giant building where the selections of the committee are shown to the judging panel. The stars and directors walk up the famous red carpet into the Festival Palace, hoping that their film will be given the Palme D’Or – the award given to what the judging panel deem to be the best film of the festival. Previous winners include Apocalypse Now (1979) and Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004).” Source and further information:
