At a time when the future of dark rooms is debated, we must offer our viewers the best possible experience and innovate, once more and once more. Before the arrival of the twelve films selected for our Cannes event in Paris, we offer the retransmission of the opening ceremony presented by Virginie Efira followed by the screening of Coupez! of Michel Hazanavicius with Berenice Bejo and Romain Duris. In order to create an unforgettable moment of celebration and cinephilia, our spectators will have the pleasure of going down the steps to access the red carpet, the photocall and enter the room with a glass of Champagne. If you can’t go to Cannes, Cannes comes to you! ???? #cinema #festival #culture #Cannes2022 #Official Selection #innovation Cannes Film Festival Pathé Les Cinémas Pathé Gaumont Pathé Films
???? It’s the return of one of the biggest events in world cinema. The Cannes Film Festival will hold its 75th edition from Tuesday May 17 and will run until May 28. 21 films are in competition this year, but none come from the Netflix platform. ???? “The Cannes Film Festival has a rule, which is that the films in the competition must be released in cinemas”, explained the general delegate of the festival Thierry Frémaux at the time of the presentation of this new edition last April. Netflix films are not released in cinemas in France, so they have not been selected. An absence that Thierry Frémaux “deplores”. ???? Nevertheless, since last July and the SMAD decree, “Netflix has been participating in the financing of the production of independent French films”, he also indicated. Once these films will be visible – not before 2024 as they are still in production – “they will therefore be eligible for the Cannes selection”, added the general delegate of the festival. ???? But not all festivals have the same approach. In 2018, the Venice Film Festival awarded the Golden Lion to “Roma” by Alfonso Cuarón, a Netflix production. For its part, the latest edition of the Oscars rewarded “The Power of the Dog” by Jan Campion (Netflix) and “Coda” by Sian Heder (Apple TV+). ???? What do you think?
