One week ago Cannes concluded what was an exciting and fun film festival. Congratulations to all the winners!
The festival inspired us to create a collection of videos about the many film festivals of Europe. Here you’ll find historical moments at Cannes and videos that showcase the range of film and cinema events across Europe. Journey back into the first era of these glamorous celebrations starting with the World Film Festival in Denmark in 1951, to the Cinema week in Venice in 1966, through to the Warsaw Film Festival in 2013. And don’t miss the 4 wonderful short films nominated for the Gaudí Award in 2010!
The collection offers behind the scenes videos about the spectacle of cinema, and offers insights into filmic highlights of the past. Watch the reactions of Cuban politician and revolutionary Fidel Castro as he screens Czechoslovakian films in his hometown Havana, or the discussion between a teen-aged Jean-Pierre Léaud and Francois Truffaut, or just laugh with Monthy Python in Cannes.
Have fun browsing through the collection and discover more on the EUscreen portal! And stay tuned for more collections coming soon by following us on Facebook and Twitter.
Don’t forget to take a look at our previous collections for more EUscreen content; European Celebrations, Women’s Rights in Europe, European Theatre, and All That Jazz.
