The Cannes Film Festival will move forward by ten days this year, having been set around mid-May since its debut. The 71st edition of the biggest Canes Festival will take place from May 8 to 19, 2018, and will be chaired by American actress Cate Blanchett. A change of date that the organizers justify in a very professional way, but which will also shake up all the booking agendas for hotels and / or tourist accommodation in Cannes.
Retain tourists as long as possible in Cannes
According to reliable sources, the organizers of the Cannes Film Festival have decided to bring forward the dates of the 71st edition of this world-famous event, in order to keep film market professionals on the scene as long as possible. Usually, the latter left Cannes on the Thursday preceding the closing ceremony. So four days deserted by the main customers, making the Croisette look like a real winter seaside resort.
Rent in Cannes to see the closing film
It is also an opportunity for the owners of furnished tourist accommodation to offer their tenant a more pleasant and lively stay. The presence of producers, filmmakers and distributors in Cannes throughout the duration of the Festival will also guarantee the occupancy of furnished apartments over the same period. After all, it is only in Cannes, and only once a year, that the Festival and the second most famous media event in the world, after the Olympic Games, takes place.
In the process, this year, the closing of the Cannes Film Festival will not take place on a Sunday, but on Saturday evening. There will certainly be a crowd at the screening of the closing film. An opportunity not to be missed by renting a tourist accommodation in Cannes.
In addition, the organizers intend to broadcast a major film expected for the closing of the Festival, to meet the general expectations of the public for years.
