Hello Guys, How are you all. We are back with again our favorite column Talk of Indian Cinema on last Weekend of May 2025. Every last Weekend is something special we talk about the film industry topic.

 

As we know recognition is must for all the places same way our industry people also recognize by different award shows and film festivals but there are few international awards and screenings have more important. Today we talk abot cannes film festival which is currently running.

This film festival rename after 2003 until it called international film festival. This film festival started in 1946 and its one of the most presigeous award in the wolrd. Every season here many film screening organized of different genre and different languages.

This film festial formally started for supporting americans and british, thus on 31st may 1939 city of cannes was set the location for the festival. On the first few season only Hollywood stars are associated with this later it expand to the world level and one by one many contries and their regional films

The reason for deciding Cannes was because of its touristic appeal as a French Riviera resort town and also because the city hall offered to increase the municipality's financial participation, including the commitment of building a dedicated venue for the event

During the 1970s, important changes occurred in the Festival. In 1972, Robert Favre Le Bret was named the new president, and Maurice Bessy the General Delegate. He introduced important changes in the selection of the participating films, welcoming new techniques, and relieving the selection from diplomatic pressures, with films like MASH, and later Chronicle of the Years of Fire marking this turn. In some cases, these changes helped directors like Andrei Tarkovsky overcome problems of censorship in their own country. Also, until that time, the different countries chose the films that would represent them in the festival. Yet, in 1972, Bessy created a committee to select French films, and another for foreign films.

 

In 2022, the festival denied press accreditation to Russian journalists associated with outlets who are not opposed to the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian war. On the opening night of the festival, the president of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, made a video appearance where he talked about the war and the role of cinema in it.

 

This year its proud moment because our gujarati film also be the part of this festival and our regional film pravas . apart from this many indian films and artist shown in this season.

So guys these are some details of cannes . next time we bring some thing new for all of you.
