The Festival International du Film in Cannes first made its appearance in 1946 and since then has has grown into possibly the most prestigious international film festival in the world. As well as the high star quotient, this is where some of the top non-Hollywood films get their first public airing.
The highlight of the Festival is the award of the prestigious Palme
d'Or. Previous winners have included:
2002 The Pianist
2001 The Son's Room
2000 Dancer In The
Dark
1999 Rosetta
1998 Eternity and
A Day
