  • What's New in 2017?
    Cannes, 3 May 2017 Press Release SUMMER IN CANNES 2017 Sail away and spend the summer in Cannes! Against the backdrop of the 70th anniversary of the Cannes Film Festival, the summer of 2017 in Cannes will sail blissfully through all artistic genres. From dance to circus, from cinema to fireworks, from jazz to electro, from art exhibitions to local fêtes, Cannes residents and visitors will have a huge selection to choose from. Throughout the long summer season, 8 festivals, 23 concerts, 5 circus performances, 4 major dance events, 10 exhibitions and more than 60 free events will be organised by the municipal services and the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès, under the leadership of David Lisnard, Mayor of Cannes. The richness of this programme is the result of the astonishing creative energy in Cannes, thanks to a bold cultural and entertainment policy. Organising rich, inventive and quality events are part of the town's DNA. The Film Festival, celebrating its 70th anniversary this year, is testament to this constant drive for innovation. What’s new in 2017? Many tributes to the festival’s 70th anniversary Since its creation, the Cannes Film Festival has unfailingly exported the town's reputation around the world and set the cultural bar high. Cannes wanted to pay tribute to the event, by organising events based on a film theme. The Musée éphémère du cinéma (pop-up cinema) will be given over to Georges Méliès, the magician and inventor of the 7th art. Visitors will be able to remake his film The Vanishing Lady, with the help of special effects he created, and at the same time discover 70 years of the Festival and parties through the photographic eye of the Traverso family.
