The Centre national du cinéma et de l’image animée (CNC), a long-standing partner of the Cannes Festival, also stands by the Cannes exhibitors, who are today the fervent defenders of diversity in Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur.

It is also your city which, along with the International Film Festival, evokes the magic of cinema for the whole world. For the general public, the name of your city resonates first of all as an invitation to dream but also to excellence.
To love the cinema is to love the actors and actresses, to love the directors, who would not miss their appointment
