The Cannes Film Festival
Every year Cannes hosts its international film festival. Cannes is a busy tourist city in France, but in May everything stops for the festival. People take the festival in a very serious way. Film directors, stars and critics all come to the festival. A panel of judges watches the new films to award prizes for the best ones. The biggest prize is the Palmed ‘Or, which is given to the best film.

Liên hoan phim Cannes là một trong những liên hoan phim có uy tín nhất thế giới, được tổ chức lần đầu từ 20 tháng 9 đến 5 tháng 10, 1946 tại thành phố nghỉ mát Cannes, nằm phía nam Pháp. Từ đó, liên hoan phim được tổ chức hàng năm trong tháng 5 .
Giải thưởng uy tín nhất được trao ở Cannes là Palme d`Or (giải Cành Cọ Vàng) cho phim Xuất sắc nhất; giải thưởng này thỉnh thoảng cũng được trao đồng thời cho nhiều phim trong một năm. Tuy nhiên ban giám khảo của Liên hoan, gồm một nhóm những chuyên gia điện ảnh quốc tế được chọn lựa, cũng trao tặng những giải thưởng khác, bao gồm "Giải thưởng lớn" (Grand Prix - giải thưởng quan trọng thứ hai).
