Le Festival de Cannes

for some reason i'm doing a presentation on this at uni and was just wondering if anyone knows anything about the media coverage of the festival. for example you know the way over here, weeks before the oscars, they're slapped all over the tv? does anyone know if there's a really big hype about the Cannes film festival in France? also does anyone know if any of the festival is accessible to the public?
i've allready checked out the official site, many unofficial sites, articles, reviews and wikipedia etc but can't find any of this information.
thanks :redface:
i don't know if u saw this website but i think that it can help you :

I did my AS oral on this last year. If you like i could find all my notes on it? just to give you a few pointers etc.. It was primarily focused on the big american influx thats taken over cannes where as it used to be mainly a french festival celebrating french film and the small movie makers etc.. mentioned where cinema and film came from to, if you want to research the lumiere brothers? Obviously it wont be as good as degree level though :biggrin:

I bought a simple poster from Cannes city in 1994 after Pulp was released, they were in a few little shops and dotted around the place in leaflets and poster form, really good pictures but they were expensive
