Cannes Film Festival is arguably the biggest and most famous celebration of international cinema in the world, attracting the industry’s film stars and directors from around the globe.

Investors with a passion for film who are looking for a property in France could place themselves within touching distance of this prestigious event.

Since 1946 the festival has been renowned for its artistic standards and fierce competition, which engulfs the town of Cannes for well over a week.

The beach is the place most commonly known as the best spot to see the movie stars and starlets and although most Cannes Film Festival events are strictly by invitation only, there are daily film screenings open to the public on Mace beach.

Another cornerstone of the festival which has become almost as famous as the main event is the fiercely contested short film competition, Un Certain Regard. This mini-festival features work which has been deemed unsuitable for the main competition but is still considered worthy of recognition.
