Throughout the Year
From January to December 2007, the City of Cannes, in partnership with the cultural association Cannes Cinéma, wished to offer all the residents of Cannes a retrospective of the greatest films that have marked these sixty years of cinema on the Croisette.
Thus, nearly sixty masterpieces of the seventh art, awarded in Cannes, will be shown in our city’s theaters: Miramar, La Licorne, Studio 13, Raimu, and Alexandre III. These screenings, open to everyone, are free. Admission is free as long as seats are available. Screenings at 6 pm.
Furthermore, eight special sessions will be organized at the Grand Auditorium of the Palais des Festivals and des Congrès, featuring red carpet arrivals set to the rhythm of beautiful film music. The free tickets, open to everyone, can be obtained at the box office of the Palais des Festivals and des Congrès, the week preceding the projection from Monday to Friday from 10 am to 5 pm.
