On this day – 20th of September 1946 – The first Cannes Film Festival was held
The film festival is one of the most prestigious film festivals in the world. It is held annually, usually in May, in Cannes in France. The history of the festival goes back to 1938 when an international Cinematographer festival was set up, but the Cannes Film festival as it is known today was created in 1946. Since 1955 have the winners received the “Palme d’Or”, or the golden palm. The first movie to receive this was “Marty”, from USA.
