Some of the popular films include Changeling directed by Clint Eastwood, Che directed by Steven Soderbergh, and Le Silence de Lorna (Lorna’s Silence) directed by brothers Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne. I was surprised to learn that Kung Fu Panda and Vicky Cristina Barcelona are out of the competition. Not all guests will end up staying in top hotels as Cannes is only a small town and has limited hotel accommodation. Most prefer staying in a luxury villa whilst in Cannes so one can combine both business and leisure.

Apart from promoting their films, famous stars and the who’s who in Hollywood usually do business, socialize with their colleagues, and take a long break or vacation during the festival.
