Film festivals exist to discover, celebrate, and amplify cinema that mainstream markets often overlook.They provide:A platform for independent, experimental, documentary, short, and world cinema
Direct bridge between filmmakers and audiences, critics, distributors
Opportunities for networking, funding, awards, and international exposure
Cultural exchange and dialogue across borders
Preservation and reevaluation of film history
In short: festivals are where cinema breathes freely, finds its first audience, and sometimes changes the industry.https://www.festival-cannes.com/en
