Ask for a brief introduction of Cannes Film Festival! Urgent! ! thank you

Cannes Film Festival was founded in the summer of 1939. Due to the financial factors of World War II and 1968 May Revolution, it was held intermittently for several years. After 1969, the activity clothes of the film festival became more and more stable, and the "director fortnight" was added to 197 1 year.

In just two weeks, the activities of the film festival are divided into six items: official competition, fortnight of directors, a kind of gaze, film review week, new face of French films and frontier market exhibition. There are two groups of judges who judge feature films and short films respectively. The "official competition" part is composed of people from the film culture circles of various countries, and their candidates are prestigious directors, actors, screenwriters, film critics, music composers and so on. One of them is the chairman. However, the chairman often affects the objectivity of the grand prize evaluation, so he has often been criticized in recent years. In addition, in the non-competition part, it is mainly to promote new people and give excellent non-commercial films a chance to be shown in public. Moreover, "Bi-weekly Directors" and "An Observation" almost found many potential or successful directors.

The related awards are divided into "Palme d 'Or Award" and "Jury Special Award". The first prize belongs to the grand prize and is considered as the best film, which symbolizes the highest honor of the director. The second prize is often awarded to one or three outstanding works, and there are some individual awards with many names, such as "Best Director Award", "Best Acting Award" and "International Young Critics Award". In the competition unit, 24 films are usually selected from all over the world and will not participate in the competition as opening films or closing films.
