This poster for the 1st ever Cannes International Film Festival in 1946, held from September 20th to October 5th in Cannes, France. The beautiful design was created by the iconic French poster artist Paul Colin and is vibrant in colour, depicting a figure pointing and shooting a film camera with the various competing countries flags making up the film reel.
This was the first ever Cannes Film Festival, beginning one year after the end of World War II, and saw quite a few mishaps throughout the event between the 21 partaking countries. The now iconic festival had many legendary directors display their films at the inaugural event, such as David Lean, Jean Cocteau, Billy Wilder and Alfred Hitchcock. This alternative design poster is in fantastic mint condition and linen backed to ensure its preservation for the decades to come.
