About the Festival

The Festival de Cannes now welcomes over 30,000 accreditees spanning the entire spectrum of the film industry, as well as some 4000 international journalists, making it the biggest and most widely acclaimed film festival in the world.

Awards

The Jury designates three awards. The first prize winner receives 15,000 Euros, the second 11,250 Euros and the third 7,500 Euros. These prizes are to be awarded in order to help the prize winners to finance their next film project which will mention in the credits "The making of this film has been made possible with the support of the Cinéfondation of the Festival de Cannes".
