​President of the Jury, Vincent Lindon, has had some high profile liaisons, notably with Claude Chirac, daughter of the president of France which lasted almost a decade.  Then in the 1990s he was with Caroline, Princess of Monaco before marrying Sandrine Kimberlain and divorcing a decade later.  He has a son and a daughter.




The Alpha Jets of the "Patrouille de France" (like the Red Arrows) are partners of the Film Festival this year and will be showing off their skills during the event.

On the red carpet...

Film Festival Cannes red Carpet 2022
Sixty meters of red carpet are used to cover the famous 24 steps at the Palais des Festivals. In the past the carpet was changed three times a day during the festival with a total of 2km used.  In 2021 this was cut by 50% and only one km was used to help save the planet.

The president of the festival Pierre Lesclure, former head of Canal Plus, greets the stars and other guests at the top of the steps. He is joined by the mayor of Cannes, currently David Lisnard

Film Star Hand Prints Cannes 2022
Film Star Hand Prints


​



​




It is during the Cannes film festival that Nadine Seul chases after the biggest star names in the world to ask them for their hand prints - must make a change from autograph hunters. About 375 hand prints have been taken since 1983. 
The stars press one or both hands into a block of clay. This is sent to a potter in Vallauris who makes a plaster mould which, in turn, goes to a foundry in the Rhone.
The mould and the shiny new stainless steel handprint then return to Cannes: the mould to the bowels of the Palais des Festivals and the hand print to the Allee des Etoiles which snakes around the Palais.

The Palme d'Or by Chopard

Palme d'Or 74th Cannes Film Festival 2022 in France
The Palme d'Or is worth about 20,000 euros and the 19 leafed palm is made from 118 grammes of pure gold. It is attached to a block of crystal. Each piece is unique as the crystal can be of a slightly different hue each year. Two are made, as well as two mini Palme d'Or, for each festival by five of Chopard's top jewellers in Geneva. These same artisans produce the "red carpet" range of jewellery worn by the stars each evening.
The mini palm d'ors are for the best actor and actress awards.

And the 2022 winners are...
