Since
its creation in 1939 (but it will be
cancelled due to the invasion of Poland
by the German troops), the Cannes Film
Festival attracts, fascinates and
annually gathers lovers of the 7th art
and curious spectators. In 70 editions,
the juries have succeeded in proposing
beautiful official selections, they have
given prizes and Palmes d'or, but above
all they have tried to valorize singular
cultural films that contribute to the
radiant reputation of the Festival
worldwide.

| Posters
of the Festival |
|
Each
year since 1946, the
organization of the Cannes
Film Festival creates a poster
to announce the event. Total
artistic creation or mythical
scene of a film, each poster
has marked in its way the
history of the cinema and the
cinéphilie.
