Festival de Cannes le tout premier vrai festival en 1946

Calixte.tv

Le saviez-vous ? Le tout premier Festival de Cannes a bien failli être un fiasco monumental ! Oubliez l'image glamour d'aujourd'hui, car en 1946, juste après la Seconde Guerre mondiale, le festival a démarré dans un chaos indescriptible.  Des projections gâchées, des pépins techniques à n'en plus finir et un système de récompenses qui récompensait plusieurs films à la fois, comme "La Bataille du Rail" ou "Rome, ville ouverte". Loin du festival parfaitement maîtrisé que l'on connaît, cette première édition était une véritable aventure.  Pourtant, malgré ces galères, leMessage était fort : le cinéma renaissait et devenait un phénomène international. Le festival de Cannes 1946 était bien plus qu'une simple célébration du cinéma, c'était un puissant symbole de réconciliation culturelle.  Des nations autrefois en conflit se retrouvaient pour partager leur art, créant une vitrine internationale où le cinéma devenait un langage universel. C'était aussi une réponse politique audacieuse, prônant un espace d'expression libre face aux propagandes fermées de l'époque.  #FestivalDeCannes #HistoireDuCinema #Cannes1946

Transcript

00:00The first Cannes Film Festival was total chaos.

00:02I make a video a day about the Cannes Film Festival

00:04until Dailymotion invited me to the Cannes Film Festival.

00:07And hurry up because I actually have some things to plan.

00:10such as content to be created about Cannes, etc.

00:12At least in Cannes.

00:13The Cannes Film Festival began with some failed screenings.

00:16The first true Cannes Film Festival did not take place in 1939.

00:19but in 1946, just after the Second World War.

00:22It was chaotic from the start.

00:24There was no reward

00:25but there were several films that received the grand prize.

00:28Among the films that received awards,

00:30Among them is René Clément's The Battle of the Rails.

00:32Rome, Open City by Roberto Rossellini

00:35and Brief Encounter by David Leon.

00:37So from the beginning, Cannes did not choose just one film.

00:40It does not award a single film.

00:41He chooses several based on several criteria.

00:44And on top of that, the screenings turned into a fiasco.

00:47Projection problem, technical error, film shown incorrectly.

00:50We are a far cry from the ultra-controlled Cannes Film Festival of today.

00:53However, this is where it all begins.

00:55Because despite the difficulties, the message is clear.

00:57Cinema is making a comeback and it's becoming international.

00:59And above all, the 1946 Cannes Film Festival,

01:02It's not just about cinema, it's primarily a symbol.

01:04Because it is a place of cultural reconciliation.

01:07There are countries that were in conflict

01:08who find themselves in the same place to show their film.

01:11There is an international showcase.

01:12Cinema is becoming a common language beyond borders.

01:15And there was an indirect political response.

01:17Create a festival open to all,

01:19It is also a way of opposing the closed-minded propaganda of the time.

01:22As I said, cinema is very political.

01:24Let me know in the comments if you knew that.

01:26And most importantly, subscribe!
