Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The annual film festival in Cannes was founded in 1946 and it is considered as the most prestigious film festival in the world.
It is held every year at the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès, usually in May.
The festival has become an important showcase for European cinematography. It offers an opportunity to present an individual country's image of its cinema as well as maintains the notion that European films are more 'artistic'.
Furthermore, considering its massive media exposure, the festival is attended by many celebrities and is a popular venue for film producers to launch their new projects and attempt to sell their works to the distributors who come from all over the globe.
Take a look at the best images from Cannes taken through the years.
