Bring your film to Cannes in a private jet and arrive to the French Riviera in style. Cannes Film Festival, for many in the industry, is the ultimate destination of any year.
Invitations to the main screenings are rare for anyone outside the film industry, but many people flock to the city for the festival atmosphere, parties, and to view film screenings at the beach. Films shown outside of the festival are those that are Out of Competition or Cannes Classics.

The Cannes Film festival previews films in a variety of genres.
George Miller, an Australian film director is the Jury President for the 2016 competition. He will also have the honor of presenting the Palme d’or award at the Festival’s close.
The Côte d’Azur provides a stunning backdrop for the Cannes festivities, and many of the stars in attendance will charter yachts for the duration of the event, giving people watchers an opportunity to catch a glimpse of their favorite actors in the harbors or anchored in the bay. Other stars prefer the Carlton Cannes, but it is typically fully booked well in advance of the festival.
