behind the scenes of the event

France Télévisions met the little hands behind the scenes who keep the dream factory at the Cannes Film Festival running. The fashion designer Christophe Guillarmé is a regular at the Festival, which is a showcase for his creations. Several young talents have already worn her dresses. That day, he repaired a small tear in the tulle. Meanwhile, in one of the three palaces on the Croisette, chef Mathieu Dorlac is on deck. During the Festival, despite the apparent calm of its teams, the pace is hectic. 30,000 appetizers will be prepared during the fortnight, not to mention the rest of the dishes.

On the Croisette, a young director from Gironde is looking for a distributor for his very first film. He is holding a sign with a QR code on it. By scanning it, passers-by can discover the trailer for his film. The Festival is a unique forum in the world. More than 4,000 journalists from around the world cover the event. And when night comes, it’s time for unforgettable parties. On a beach in Cannes, singer Mika set the dance floor on fire on the evening of Thursday May 16.
