The city of Cannes if perhaps most famous for its annual film festival; however, it was the scene of significant activity long before the arrival of celluloid and has a long and interesting history dating back thousands of years. Today, its atmosphere of vibrancy and cultural richness is fortified by it proud heritage.

Evidence exists to suggest that civilisations inhabited the area we now know as Cannes as early as the 2nd century BC. It’s believed that the Oxybian tribe from Liguria formed various settlements here, which came under the name Aegitna. Historians are unsure of the meaning of this name, but what is known is that initially the area was little more than a simple fishing village used as a port of call between the Lérins Islands. Life in Aegitna was fairly uneventful until the year 69 AD, when it became the scene of a violent conflict between the troops of Othos and Vitellius, and this marked a significant period of unsettlement in the area.

Cannes Film Festival

The Cannes Film Festival (French : le Festival international du film de Cannes or simply le Festival de Cannes), founded in 1939, is considered one of the world's most prestigious film festivals and is a part of the history of Cannes. It is the highlight of the city’s event calendar and is a two-week long event that sees the city descended upon by major Hollywood actors and directors as well as a large number of independent film makers. Movies are screened throughout the period.

In May 2006, Hollywood Reporter acknowledged that Cannes is the "granddaddy of all film festivals". The private festival is held annually; usually in the month of May.
